Offensive and Ignorant

Gov. Gavin Newsom profiles California’s $128 billion government education system

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is threatening to fine the Temecula Valley Unified School District $1.5 million for rejecting a social studies textbook that mentions Harvey Milk, the gay San Francisco supervisor slain in 1978.

“Why even mention a pedophile?” wondered Temecula school board member Joseph Komrosky.

“An offensive statement from an ignorant person,” tweeted Gov. Newsom.

Komrosky, a former U.S. Army Ranger, earned a PhD in philosophy from Claremont Graduate University and teaches logic at Mount San Antonio College. The Temecula board member also worked in nuclear medicine, primarily positive emission tomography (PET/CT),  for more than 20 years.

“My word choice is based upon facts represented by Mr. Milk,” said Komrosky, in response to the governor, “and I don’t believe those facts are a good example for our children to learn about in elementary school.” For the facts about Mr. Milk, parents can check out Daniel Flynn’s Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco.

Harvey Milk was not a victim of anti-gay violence and had not been kicked out of the Navy because he was homosexual. Milk was a pederast, which fully qualifies him as a pedophile. So Gov. Newsom, not board member Komrosky, is the ignorant party, but there’s more to it.

“Gov. Newsom signed a bill to protect sex offenders who have homosexual sex with minors,” explains Katy Grimes of the California Globe. “The bill allows a 24-year-old to have sex with a 14-year-old and escape a felony conviction and requirement to be a registered sex offender.” This should not be a surprise in a state that made a hero out of Harvey Milk.

The facts about this pedophile lead Temecula board members to reject the social studies text Newsom wants them to use. Gov. Newsom says “the state will do their job for them.” Parents might wonder how well the state is performing that job.

California’s governor chooses to send his own children to an upscale private school in Sacramento. As it happens, the Golden State has never had a governor who sought to extend school choice to parents statewide. Republican Gov. Pete Wilson failed to support Proposition 174 in 1993.

However much the statement might offend former SF Mayor Noisome, the statement is true. In contrast to Komrosky's PhD in Philosophy, Noisome has a BS in Political Science. Who's the one less educated, Noisome?
