Briggs to broaden death penalty and bar homosexual teachers
California State Senator John Briggs announced a plan to expand the death penalty to 19 first-degree murder categories and to fire or bar hire of teachers or administrators judged unfit for public homosexuality. The initiative would keep life with parole as an option in some cases. Briggs seeks ballot inclusion for November 1978, after a prior petition issue delayed the June goal.
