California Assembly Rejects Ban on Terrorist Teachers

The California Assembly rejected a ban on teachers in public schools who advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government or are part of terrorist networks on August 4, according to the Capitol Resource Institute. The ban was rejected in a party-line vote with the Democratic Party holding the majority of the seats in the assembly.

The proposed SB 1322 bill allowed Communists to teach in public schools. Republican Assemblymen Martin Garrick and Chuck DeVore offered two amendments to the bill requiring that any person or organization using public schools must sign a statement confirming they do not advocate overthrowing the government and are not part of terrorist networks. The bill also called for the firing of anyone employed by a California public school that is a terrorist.

The non-profit Capitol Resource Institute, which says its goal is to support “family-friendly” policies in California, is taking aim at the Democratic Party in California for the defeat of the bill.

Democrats are quick to side with the latest political cause championing the rights of the oppressed. With their votes today, Democrats have missed their opportunity to make a statement denouncing oppressive Communist governments responsible for the misery and suffering of so many worldwide,” said the organization’s legislative liaison, Meredith Turney, in a statement on their web site, www.capitalresource.org.
