Remember Sally Kern, the homophobic Oklahoma legislator?

Well it seems her proposal to "protect" religious expression in public schools has been bitch-slapped down by the governor.

From The Tulsa World:

Gov. Brad Henry on Friday vetoed a controversial measure to protect religion in schools.

Henry vetoed House Bill 2633, called the "Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act," by Sen. James A. Williamson, R-Tulsa, and Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City.

The bill state that "students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions. Homework and classroom assignments shall be judged by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance and against other legitimate pedagogical concerns identified by the school district. Students shall not be penalized or rewarded on account of the religious content of their work."

Henry said students are already allowed to express their faith through voluntary prayer and other activities. He said the legislation was well-intended, but vague and "may trigger a number of unintended consequences that actually impede rather than enhance such expression."

Wow! Can it only be last month that dear Ms. Kern was ranting about how homosexuals were "worse than terrorists"?
