I want to note that one of those points says promoting homosexuality to school children. And then down below in the real fine print, which no one can read from here, the Christian Coalition is described as a pro-family action organization, I believe is the phrase. In context, I believe a reasonable person could conclude that a pro-family action organization does not think it is a good idea to promote homosexuality to schoolchildren and, therefore, that would fall under Shays-Meehan as being held to be applicable to their law and, therefore, would be banned. I would like the gentleman from California (Mr. Campbell) to explain to me his interpretation.
