Reps. Hoogendyk, Stahl, Pastor, Garfield, Milosch, Voorhees, Vander Veen, Sheen, DeRoche, Huizenga, Caswell, Nitz, Bradstreet, Brandenburg, Ehardt, Meyer, Hager, Hune, Julian, Lipsey, Mortimer, O'Neil, Stakoe, Stallworth and Tabor offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 141.

            A resolution to urge Michigan's public universities to reexamine all class offerings and refrain from offering classes or university-sanctioned activities that promote or facilitate  participation in a sexual lifestyle or practices other than heterosexual monogamy.

            Whereas, Some of Michigan's public universities offer classes that study issues related to sexuality that appear to be inconsistent with the expectations and values of the majority of Michigan citizens.  This fact has raised concerns across our state.  This concern is mirrored in the response to certain classes at universities across the country; and

            Whereas, While academic studies entailing controversy can be a productive component in the educational experience, there may be classes at Michigan universities that go far beyond appropriate subject matter.  Some of the courses offered at public universities in our state appear to promote homosexuality and practices and lifestyles that are strongly at odds with the practices and traditions of the taxpayers that help make these studies possible; and

            Whereas, An example of a class offered in some of our state universities is "How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation."  This type of class does not promote activities consistent with the heterosexual monogamy that reflects our society's most important institutions; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Michigan's public universities to reexamine all class offerings and refrain from offering classes or university-sanctioned activities that promote or facilitate participation in a sexual lifestyle or practices other than heterosexual monogamy; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the controlling boards of Michigan's public universities.
