Governor Schwarzenegger Targets People of Faith

Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 1441 that would require all businesses and organizations receiving funding from the state of CA to condone homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality or lose state funding. There is no exception for faith- based organizations or business owners with sincerely held religious convictions.

This legislation will prevent parochial schools, such as private, Christian, Catholic, Mormon, and many other religious universities, from receiving student financial assistance if they also maintain a student code of conduct preventing behavior deemed immoral by their religious beliefs. By withholding state funding from schools, students’ educational opportunities will be severely limited. And limiting educational opportunities will result in a less diverse, less educated citizenry.
