The East coast is bracing for a hurricane
Using classrooms for political purposes...............(those 5 words are mine)

There is absolutely no need to dig to find a scenario in history that involves a gay person just to have them included in the history book. You teach history as it's written and if someone is part of the story and they are gay, then they are already included. The cost of printing now books would be tremendous.
I can see it now......the last spike was driven into the rail tracks and that marked the railroad going completely across the country.......guess who raised the mules that hauled the gravel used by the railroad?? Some gay guy in MO. Is that really necessaey?? (MLK)
Then you must also know that CA. is one of the biggest orderers of books....the old fashioned kind, so what they are teaching will also be in the books heading to Omaha Nebraska and French Lick ,Indiana. I'm not so sure the mid section of the country will be so receptive of gay history!! (mlk)Moreluck, i know youve been out of school since wooden desks, but books are printed every year. IN the next 10 years, there will be no text books as touch pads will be the order of the day. So dont worry your little head about costs, they are about to go down.
Peace.
Si!The books will be printed in two languages------------------Spanish and Chinese.

Did you read where I wrote that there are no gay people in Indiana? Of course you didn't. You think you're being cute and you are just being a pest. When you get into the mid-west, the people are not as accepting of alternate lifestyles as they are in CA.
I was raised in Ohio and didn't know there were gays 'til I was an adult.
I never said I was against gays.....like you twist my words around to say...................I'm talking about school books. Why would we rewrite history.....it's history, it hasn't changed, it's already over. Now, if in the future of history writing, you want to highlight some gays.....say Harvey Milk, then go for it.
As far as the present writings............"so it is written, so it shall be done"
'"You think Harvey Milk was the only famous gay person in california? ....."
Are you serious with this question?? I used that as one example , so I don't know how you get that phrase from just one example.
Shouldn't you be watching the debate? You won't be able to discuss it intelligently if you don't watch it. What am I saying? You can't discuss anything intelligently anyway.
