Everything is
political. While the governator vetoed these bills I am under no
illusion as to why, because most people were against them. He does
bring up an important points:
Schwarzenegger
said he vetoed AB 606 because it was "irresponsible" to create a new
state mandate on schools, and he noted that existing laws already deal
with discrimination and harassment in the schools.
The governor
said he vetoed AB 1056 because it duplicated current efforts to provide
"more avenues to teach about tolerance and human rights."
This
would have duplicated existing legislation. Which would have brought up
another issue, Is sexual orientation a civil right? Discrimination
should not be tolerated, but should the government be mandating what
people should or should not believe concerning ethical issues? I don't
think so. Read More.
