Christian group sues over California student-discrimination law

A Christian group based in Southern California is suing the state over a law that prohibits discrimination against gays in schools.

The group, Murrieta-based Advocates for Faith and Freedom, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Diego.

It claims the law is unconstitutionally vague and violates student privacy.

State Sen. Sheila Kuehl, a Santa Monica Democrat who is openly gay, wrote the bill, which was signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in October.

She says it is intended to consolidate existing state education laws that already prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Opponents say the law promotes homosexual, bisexual and transgender lifestyles to children.
