WHAT A CROCK
Friday, July 15, 2011
The article is titled "New state law requires LGBT history in textbooks." In a word, this is garbage. I would find it hard to believe that the LGBT community is accepting of this drivel. As much as the cry of "no special rights, just equal ones," is said this law would not hold water. In no surprise, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill to add this to the social sciences curriculum.
Brown is quoted as saying that "History should be honest." Well, yes but should it also apply sexual orientation as a qualifier of achievement? No. To wit: "Alan Turing is the father of computer science and greatly contributed to the creation of the modern computer." That's honest and says nothing about Turing's homosexuality...and why the hell should it?
Brown is looking for voters. That's it. Historical? I can assure you there is nothing historical about California blowing things out of proportion.
