AB 606 reads, “A school district shall establish and publicize an anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policy that prohibits discrimination and harassment based on the characteristics set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code and Section 220, including, but not limited to, actual or perceived gender identity and sexual orientation” -- AB 606 234.1(a)(1).

The Democrat legislators who passed AB 606 in the Assembly have attempted to portray this as a general anti-discrimination law designed to protect children in schools. In reality, AB 606 forces every California school to be a transsexual, bisexual and homosexual school, or else suffer crippling financial consequences. 

We know this by looking at the bill text. AB 606 promotes its sexual agenda:“based on the characteristics set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code and Section 220” -- AB 606 234.1(1,2). 

Connect the dots.  Penal 422.55 refers to "gender" and "sexual orientation."  Immediately following is Penal Code 422.56(c) which declares:

"Gender" means sex, and includes a person's gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth." 

Therefore, AB 606 means transsexuality, transvestitism, intersexuality, sex changes, and cross-dressing (boys wearing girls clothes) will be promoted on every California school campus. Penal Code 422.56(h) also defines "sexual orientation" as including “bisexuality.” When you put together the pieces, this is how AB 606 forces schools to promote transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality as norms to which schoolchildren should aspire.

2. AB 606 is different from other school “anti-discrimination” laws.

Although Democrat legislators claim AB 606 is merely an anti-discrimination law by citing the first half of the bill (AB 606, 234.1), it’s the second half that carries the poison pill (AB 606, 234.2). Section 234.2 gives the State Superintendent of Public Instruction absolute power and arbitrary authority to yank all state funding from any school district that he or she deems to be inadequately promoting transsexual-bisexual-homosexual curriculum and agendas. 

Because around two-thirds of a school district’s funds come from state government, AB 606 effectively places California’s schools at the mercy of a single politician who believes every sexual lifestyle is OK to teach to kids. But AB 606 is not about mercy. It’s the intolerant hammer of the trans-bi-homosexual agenda forcing every California school to submit, or else. AB 606 clearly spells out this power to destroy:

“If the Superintendent determines that a school district is not complying with this article…he or she may use any means authorized by law to effect compliance with this article, including, but not limited to, the withholding of all or part of the relevant state fiscal support of the school district” -- AB 606, 234.2(b). 

3. AB 606 will be used to force schools to use state-approved curriculum actively promoting transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality.

This is no exaggeration. AB 606 requires the California Department of Education to “suggest” school curricula, stating: 

"The department shall display information on trainings, curricula, and other resources that specifically address bias-related discrimination and harassment based on…actual or perceived gender identity and sexual orientation, on the California Healthy Kids Resource Center Internet Web site” -- AB 606 234.1(a)(3).

This isn't just educational advice.  Because of the absolute enforcement power that AB 606 awards the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the state schools chief will have the legal authority to yank funding from any school that doesn’t adequately promote transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality in its "trainings, curricula, and other (educational) resources." What determines compliance, and who decides which school districts get two-thirds of their funding pulled? The “suggestions” made by the Superintendent, of course.

4. AB 606's REAL AGENDA is to remove all legal protections against the state MANDATING transsexual-bisexual-homosexual curriculum in schools.

The current version of AB 606 (as amended Feb. 17, 2006) says:

“SEC. 3. Section 241 of the Education Code is repealed.”  But what does Section 241 say?  It reads, “Nothing in the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 requires the inclusion of any curriculum, textbook, presentation, or other material in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution or postsecondary educational institution; the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 shall not be deemed to be violated by the omission of any curriculum, textbook, presentation, or other material in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution or postsecondary educational institution.”

Do you see it?  Currently law prohibits transsexual, bisexual, homosexual curriculum, textbooks, and presentations from being forced on school districts.  But AB 606 would REPEAL this prohibition and give the state schools chief absolute power to MANDATE curriculum changes promoting transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality.

CONCLUSION

AB 606 harms local control of schools by allowing the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to determine sexual curriculum and sexual presentations, despite the objections of locally-elected school board members.

AB 606 and the California Department of Education will accomplish this damage through a two-step process. First, they'll give schools “suggestions” for appropriate curriculum -- AB 606 234.1(b). Then, they'll withhold all state funding from schools that don't accept “appropriate” curriculum -- AB 606, 234.2(a,b). All this at the sole discretion of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Making matters even worse, the current state schools chief is Democrat Jack O’Connell, who, as a state senator, supported every bill advocating transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality, including allowing up to $150,000 in government fines against businesses that disagreed with cross-dressing (AB 1649 in 2001).

Clearly, AB 606 will result in MANDATORY curriculum, textbooks, and presentations advocating controversial sexual “norms” to students from kindergarten through high school.
