Anti-Gay Coalition Files For Ballot Initiative To Overturn FAIR Education Act | The Stop SB48 coalition failed to secure the signatures it required to overturn the FAIR Education Act by referendum, but now it has filed for a ballot initiative to undo the law. The ballot initiative process is completely separate from the referendum process, so the anti-gay coalition will have to start from scratch and collect 504,760 signatures to qualify for next year’s ballot. The FAIR Education Act calls for California schools to include the roles and contributions of LGBT Americans in curricula and prevents teachers from portraying people in a negatively light because of their sexual orientation.
