THE ILLINOIS SENATE PASSED A BILL WEDNESDAY REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO TEACH L-G-B-T HISTORY TO STUDENTS.
THE MEASURE REQUIRES A UNIT ON THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND ROLE OF LESBIANS, GAYS, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. SPONSOR SENATOR HEATHER STEANS (stains) OF CHICAGO SAYS THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN A HISTORY LESSON.
IT WILL BE UP TO SCHOOLS TO DECIDE WHAT GRADE LEVEL TO INTRODUCE THE MATERIAL. THE BILL NOW MOVES TO THE HOUSE FOR CONSIDERATION.
