Senaator Kuehl Amends LGBT Curriculum Bill To Appease Governor

As Rod pointed out yesterday, openly lesbian State Senator Sheila Kuehl has amended SB 1437, her bill to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in public education curricula, to appease The Governator's expressed desire to veto the legislation. The version of the bill as introduced would have mandated the teaching of the historical contributions of openly LGBT individuals such as poet Langston Hughes, athlete Billie Jean King and congressman Barney Frank, among others.

The California Assembly passed the amended version 56-2 on Monday.
