"Don't Say Gay" Bill

I found a video on CNN.com describing a bill that was passed in California by the Senate that is prompting that a similar bill be passed in Tennessee. The Bill is being referred to as the "Don't Say Gay" Bill and it states that: No public elementary or middle school shall provide any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.

I know that there has been a lot of debate about sex education in schools, but I thought that it was just about information such as whether or not birth control should be taught as opposed to abstinence. I didn't think that it would come down to not talking about homosexuality in schools!

Apparently this bill had already attempted to be passed in the House, but got denied so it is now being brought to the Senate. The reasoning behind why Senator Campfield thinks this should be passed? He says that parents should be the ones to decide when to talk to their children about this issue.

He also tries to say that this bill is neutral...it doesn't speak for or against homosexuality, but in a way doesn't it? If the bill is banning the topic from being even talked about in schools or the word homosexuality being mentioned...how is that not speaking against it?

Watch the video and decide for yourself!
