The American River College Student Council, facing fierce opposition and curses from peers Tuesday, voted 8-3 with three abstentions to support Proposition 8, known as the Marriage Protection Amendment.
Students who support “gay” marriage are furious, claiming they have collected 450 signatures to recall the eight students who voted for the resolution, the Sacramento Bee reported.
If the signatures are validated, the college will hold a special election within 10 days to decide whether the students will be recalled.
Former student representative Yuri Popov spoke in favor of the resolution at American River College. He told WND the student association has a right to take a position on issues that affect education policy.
“We have classes at community colleges that teach about marriage,” Popov said. “Some people don’t know that. There are psychology classes that teach family dynamics and about everything from childhood to marriage. If Proposition 8 isn’t passed, there will be a redefinition of marriage that will be taught in these classes.”
Interclub Council President Tim Richney is head of an organization that oversees all campus clubs. He is leading the effort to remove council members who supported the resolution.
“We are against discrimination and hatred, and we want them out of office,” he said. More HERE
