Help Us Fight Senate Bill 777
Join the California Education Committee »
As a brief reminder, last fall the California legislature passed Senate Bill 777, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger, thereby redefining the term "gender" for all public schools in California. According to SB 777, you are what you think you are, regardless of your biological make-up. Further, gender is now a protected classification under California's nondiscrimination laws.
California Supreme Court Justices Deny Apeal for Stay
On June 4, 2008, the California Supreme Court denied requests to stay its decision legalizing same-sex marriage until after the November election. Read the News Release from the Judicial Council of California.
This denial has cleared the way for same-sex couples to get married beginning June 17, 2008, when state officials have said counties must start issuing new gender-neutral marriage licenses.
California's Highest Court Redefines Marriage
On May 15, 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled against Proposition 22 and overturned California’s marriage laws uncovering a right to “same-sex marriage” under the California Constitution.
Judge Grants Motion to Intervene in Farnan Case
Advocates argued before Federal District Court Judge Selna on the motion to intervene by the ...
California Teachers Association on April 28, 2008.
The judge granted its motion to intervene and to defend high school teacher, Dr. James Corbett, and the Capistrano Unified School District. It would be interesting to know if the Association would have intervened on behalf of the teacher if he were accused of promoting Christianity instead of atheism!
Farnan Hearing on April 28, 2008
Advocates' attorneys will argue before the District Court judge on Monday, April 28, 2008 at 1:30pm.
The California Teachers Association is attempting to get involved with this very high profile case on behalf of our opposition, the Capistrano Unified School District, and consequently have filed a motion to intervene (see Top Story).
Please cover us with your prayers as we prepare and argue on behalf of Chad Farnan.
SB 777 UPDATE: SCHWARZENEGGER REDEFINES GENDER
Advocates continues to press forward with our lawsuit in an attempt to overturn the ill effects of SB 777, the bill that redefines the term "gender" for all school children through the Education Code. The redefinition of gender states that you are what you choose to be regardless of your anatomical makeup. This means a boy can enter a girls' locker room and not be punished if he says he identifies himself as a girl that day.
