(AP) - Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people would be added to the lengthy list of social and ethnic groups that public schools must include in social studies lessons under a landmark bill passed yesterday by the Cali- fornia Senate. If the bill is adopted bythe state Assembly and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, California would become the first state to require the teach- ing of gay history. Supporters say the move is needed to counter anti-gay stereo- types and beliefs that make chil- dren in those groups vulnerable to bullying and suicide. Opponents counter that such instruction would further burden an already crowded curriculum and expose students to a subject that some parents find objection- able. The legislation, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco, passed on a 23-14 party line vote. It also would add disabled people to the curriculum. The bill gives school districts flexibility in deciding what to include in the lessons and at what grades students would receive them. But starting in the 2013-14 school year, it would prohibit dis- tricts and the California Board of Educationfromusingtextbooks or other instructional materials that reflect adversely on gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. 34 BAG army Ashraf dead, a man w first i for the rebuke ern alli The E killed in what People's Mujahedeen Organi- zation of Iran, which seeks to fficial terms a overthrow Iran's clerical lead- ers.

But since then, left 34 Iranian exiles the exiles have become an irri- ccordingto a U.N. spokes- tant to Iraq's new Shiite-led. 'ho yesterday offered the government, which is trying to independent death toll bolster ties with Iran. e attack that drew sharp The attack was the climax s from Baghdad's West- of days of building tensions ies. between the Iraqi army and the April 8 raid targeted the Ashraf residents, who feared they were about to be attacked after nervously watching sol- diers bulk up their forces out- side the camp. The Iraqi general who led the raid said it was in response to Ashraf residents pelting his troops with rocks and throwing themselves in front of military cars. U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry yesterday called ita "massacre." The U.N. visit was critical because the Ashraf residents and the Iraqi government have issued wildly different accounts of the raid and the reasons behind it. U.N. human rights spokes- man Rupert Colville in Geneva said a team of U.N. observers saw 28 bodies still at the camp 8l9 during a Wednesday visit to the compound in eastern Diyala province. Most of the bod- ies appeared to have been shot St and some were women, he said. Three of the bodies appeared to have been crushed to death, a Western diplomat in Baghdad said - likely from being run over by a car. "It's clearly a very serious incident and we are trying to get more information," Colville said. He said six bodies are "elsewhere" but did not clarify where. The Ashraf residents main- tained from the start that 34 people were killed and as many as 325 wounded. The Iraqi gov- ernment said three people were. killed. Both Iran and the U.S. con- sider the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran to be a terrorist threat, although the European Union removed the group from its terror list several years ago. After Saddam fell, U.S. troops took control of Camp Ashraf, dis- armed its fighters and confined the resident to their 30-square- mile camp. In return, the mili- tary signed an agreement with the camp's 3,400 residents giving them protected status under the Geneva Conventions. But it's not clear whether the residents still have those legal protections. Iraqi allies in Washington and London and U.N. officers in Geneva sharply criticized last week's raid, but Iran praised it. Kerry called the raid "deeply disturbing" and "simply unac- ceptable." He called on the Iraqi government to conduct a full and serious investigation and said the U.S., U.N. and European Union must help broker a peaceful solu- tion between the two sides. "Corrective action is impera- tive," Kerry said in a statement. "The (Iraqi) investigation must hold accountable the respon- sible parties and ensure that there will be no sequel to these horrific events." The U.N. inspection of the camp came five days after the human rights agency first demanded to be allowed in. The Iraqi army and police have blocked access to the camp for more than a year, following a similar raid in July 2009. A U.S. Army medical team also entered the camp last week- end to provide humanitarian aid but has refused comment on what it looked like inside. Jour- nalists have not been allowed in. Until the U.N. visit, the only official casualty count in the raid came from the morgue at Baqouba public hospital, where officials said they received 12 bodies from the camp. 0 0 A 6
