Education Code section 51933 makes it clear that schools that teach "comprehensive sex education" have to teach, "respect for marriage and committed relationships". This is something no school district can get around.

It is the choice of school districts whether or not they teach sex education. This is why the Anti- Proposition 8 campaign and Jack O'Connell say there is no requirement to teach about marriage.

What Jack O'Connell knows but doesn't say is that 96% of school districts teach comprehensive sex education. Those numbers are from O'Connell's California Department of Education. 96% must teach respect for marriage.

Of course some teacher can still tell their students about gay relationships, but they would not be OBLIGATED to under the law like they would if Prop 8 doesn't pass.

So if most schools already teach sex ed...and the education code you just cited requires teaching about marriage AND committed relationships, then what impact does Prop 8 have? None.

btw, we already hashed this out in much greater detail a few days ago, including a more in depth analysis of this code section and others, so you are a day late and a dollar short on this one. Do a search and you should find it pretty easily. You didn't even quote the entire relevant code section.
