Asking Girls To Kiss, How It Did Happen, The History Of The Dignity For All Students Act Part 1

David Paterson who signed the law on Erev Rosh Hashana that forced gay teaching into schools

As we previously reported girls in school in Upstate NY were required to ask one another for a lesbian kiss based on the so called "Dignity For All Students Act".

The most objectionable part of the law, is the following section which forces all schools to teach pro gay propaganda. (possibly even private and religious schools)  This law was the basis for telling middle schools girls to kiss each other.  (The capital letters are the new laws which the Dignity For All Students Act added to the previous law, that which is underlined is for emphasis)

S 801-a. Instruction in civility, citizenship and character education.
 The  regents  shall  ensure  that  the  course  of instruction in grades
 kindergarten through twelve includes a component on  civility,  citizen
 ship  and character education. Such component shall instruct students on
 the principles of honesty, tolerance, personal  responsibility,  respect
 for  others,  observance  of laws and rules, courtesy, dignity and other
 traits which will enhance the  quality  of  their  experiences  in,  and
 contributions  to,  the  community.  The  regents shall determine how to
 incorporate such component in existing curricula  and  the  commissioner
 shall  promulgate any regulations needed to carry out such determination
 of the regents.  FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "TOLERANCE," "RESPECT
 FOR OTHERS" AND "DIGNITY" SHALL INCLUDE  AWARENESS  AND  SENSITIVITY  TO
 DISCRIMINATION  OR HARASSMENT AND CIVILITY IN THE RELATIONS OF PEOPLE OF
 DIFFERENT RACES, WEIGHTS, NATIONAL ORIGINS,  ETHNIC  GROUPS,  RELIGIONS,
 RELIGIOUS  PRACTICES, MENTAL OR PHYSICAL ABILITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS,
 GENDERS, AND SEXES. 

This bill including this section was first proposed in 2001 with former Assemblyman Steve Sanders sponsoring it in the Assembly and the former gay state senator Thomas Duane sponsoring it in the assembly.  When Steve Sanders retired, gay assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell (the lesbian actress Rosie O'Donnell brother) sponsored the bill in his place.

The bill was voted and passed 9 times in the assembly (never having more than 9 people voting against it) before it passed the senate.  On April 29th 2010, the NY City Council sponsored a resolution calling upon the New York State Legislature to pass the "Dignity For All Students Act".

2 people (Daniel Squadron, and Letitia James) currently running for Public Advocate of New York City supported this evil bill.

If any of these legislators made a mistake, and didn't understand what they were voting for, we now call on them to try and correct their mistake and sponsor a bill to repeal that section!

Call your legislator to demand they repeal section 801-A of the education law!
