California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law, creating an annual day of recognition for pioneering gay rights activist, the late Harvey Milk, officials said on Monday. May 22 will be designated as "Harvey Milk Day." It was Milk's birthday.Harvey Milk was a San Francisco supervisor and California's first openly gay official. On November 27, 1978, Milk and San Francisoo Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, a former city supervisor.
White was later convicted of manslaughter, and after service two years of a five-year sentence, returned to San Francisco and later committed suicide.
Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill last year, saying Milk's legacy "should continue to be recognized at the local level," so it's interesting that he signed his bill.
Harvey Milk's life was the subject of the Oscar-winning 2008 film "Milk." It won Academy Awards for Best Actor (Sean Penn), and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.

Parents don't give a crap about their kids, which is why they're willing to let "Harvey Milk Day" become not a formal state holiday, since Government employees won't get the day off, but a "day of significance", since public school kids will be taught to observe it. Teachers will encourage exercises to recall Milk's sodomite, paedophiliac lifestyle and his destructive contributions to the State, namely how he stood for the destruction of the family.
What more reason to ABOLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL do parents need?
