Son Summarily Dismissed Because of Parents Question

[Chickenhauler]

I looked up bill 777. Here is a summary:

California S.B. 777
Summary: This bill would prohibit instruction or activity or the use of any instructional materials in public schools (or in some cases private schools receiving state financial assistance) that reflects adversely upon any persons because of their sexual orientation or actual or perceived gender. The bill also prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or actual or perceived gender in any program or activity conducted by a school that receives state financial assistance.

I'm not sure why this bill would cause anyone concern though or how it influences this topic.

To sum it up, it's not allowable to teach or practice hatred and bigotry on the taxpayer dime.

Hello,
Thank you to everyone for posting comments to my thread. ProfessionalMoms' post was especially welcome as others were also. I found it enlightening how this subject shed light on some peoples true colors and beliefs. Their are those who think, as I believe my sons teacher does, that they know better than their parents. I had follow up conversation with the teacher regarding my request, she took it so personally. I tried to explain to her, because of my life experience, some history, some of the harboring suspicion regarding Ca. laws. What was the harm of asking her? Should not a parent have a right to ask such things?
If I could describe the outcome I would call it reverse bigotry.
Has anyone heard of Ca. Bill 777? I find it curious that prop 8 was brought up but nothing about bill 777 that was signed into law. Prop 8 was a law passed by the majority of all Californians, whether you approve of it or not. Bill 777 was a legislative act passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. There is a vast difference between the two. California is and has been the leader for making many laws that are eventually adopted in one fashion or another throughout the nation.
For myself; I am active in my childs life. I am responsible for what he learns at this age. I am accountable for my child. I cannot protect him from all the things in the world, but I can influence him and explain things so that he is informed. I am not politically correct, but I do not teach hate or bigotry. I believe decisions have repercussions.

Look at it from a providers standpoint, especially in today's litigious society.

If someone is bringing this up right from the start, a provider may very well be a little gun-shy about where things may go from there.
