MURRIETA, March 19, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Advocates for Faith & Freedom has released an informative publication about the cultural crisis in California's public schools, in which anti-Christian policies have taken hold, often contrary to the worldview that parents try to instill in their children.

We have seen a rise in alarming legislation and classroom procedure affecting California's public schools and students.  Some examples follow:

  • Students are allowed to get an abortion by leaving their campus, without the consent or knowledge of their parents.
     
  • Students may receive psychological counseling and health care, including vaccinations and treatment for STD's, without the knowledge or consent of their parents.
     
  • Senate Bill 777 (2008) redefined "gender" in the California Education Code to mean "sex, and includes a person's identity and gender expression. 'Gender expression' means a person's gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth."
     
  • "Gender liberation" is a new movement in the schools, with the goal of "liberating" children of gender norms.
     
  • Senate Bill 48 (2012) requires California's history curricula and textbooks be revised to find and focus upon the homosexual orientation of historical/prominent figures.
     
  • A new bill was recently introduced in the California Legislature (AB 1266) stating that a pupil must be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, and facilities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records.

Robert Tyler, General Counsel of Advocates for Faith & Freedom, remarked, "A crisis of epic proportions exists in California public schools. While the system is failing, the State Legislature and the California Teacher's Association have pushed a destructive social agenda that contradicts the most basic wisdom on moral concerns that children receive from their parents. We hope this publication will alert parents appropriately."
