    LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


    SB 1322, as introduced, Lowenthal. Communism.
    (1) The Civic Center Act requires the governing body of a school
    district to grant the use of school property, when an alternative
    location is not available, to nonprofit organizations, and clubs or
    associations organized to promote youth and school activities.
    Existing law also prohibits an individual, society, group, or
    organization from using school property for the commission of any act
    intended to further a program or movement the purpose of which is to
    accomplish the overthrow of the government of the United States or
    of the state by force, violence, or other unlawful means.
    This bill would permit the school board to require the furnishing
    of information as it deems necessary to determine that the use of
    school property for which application is made would not violate that
    provision. This bill would also delete provisions regarding a person
    who intends to use school property on behalf of an organization to
    deliver a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the
    organization is not a Communist action organization or Communist
    front organization required to be registered with the Attorney
    General of the United States or does not, to the best of that person'
    s knowledge, advocate the overthrow of the government of the United
    States or of the State of California by force, violence, or other
    unlawful means.
    (2) Under existing law, a permanent or classified school employee,
    or a classified community college employee may be dismissed from
    employment for specified causes, including, but not limited to,
    commission of a felony.
    This bill would delete provisions that a permanent or classified
    school employee, or a classified community college employee may be
    dismissed from employment if he or she is a knowing member of the
    Communist Party.
    (3) Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction and
    prohibits a school district from sponsoring any activity that
    reflects adversely upon a person because of his or her race, sex,
    color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry.
    This bill would delete provisions that prohibit a teacher giving
    instruction in a school or on property belonging to an agency
    included in the public school system from teaching communism with the
    intent to indoctrinate or to inculcate in the mind of any pupil a
    preference for communism. The bill would also delete provisions that
    a teacher may be dismissed from employment if he or she teaches
    communism in that way.
    (4) Under existing law, a public employee is required to answer,
    under oath, specified questions, including, but not limited to,
    knowing membership in an organization advocating the forceful or
    violent overthrow of the government of the United States or of any
    state.
    This bill would delete these provisions. The bill would also
    delete related findings and declarations by the Legislature regarding
    communism and the Communist Party.
    Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
    State-mandated local program: no.
