Newsom Signs Law Enforcing Radical Racial and LGBT Curriculum
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom appears intent on proving he is the most radical state leader in the nation. He just inked into law a measure ensuring that extreme racial and LGBT propaganda is used to indoctrinate the state’s children.
No more will local school boards be able to block pornographic materials foisted onto them by woke state leaders. Nearly six million California students from kindergarten on up are now at the mercy of leftists.
Newsom’s Monday signature enshrined Assemblyman Corey Jackson’s AB 1078 into law. It was “justified” by claiming that “inclusive and diverse perspectives” are being dropped by concerned school boards.
Local school leaders will also face heavy financial penalties if they attempt to shield children from woke materials that are wholly age-inappropriate. The bill completely ignores the offensive content of works pulled off of school shelves.
That is irrelevant to Newsom’s and California’s sweeping program to expose kids to trash. The legislation spelled out the special groups the law intends to promote.
AB 1078 stated it exists to build “an equitable learning environment where all pupils, including lesbian, gay, transgender, queer and questioning pupils and Black, Indigenous, and other pupils of color feel welcome.”
The new law went into effect immediately.
Newsom ranted that “fringe ideologues across the country are attempting to whitewash history and ban books from schools.” In a brazen display of hypocrisy, the Democrat then declared that California is the “true freedom state.”
The flashpoint for controversy over inappropriate materials in the state came when the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) declared a Sacramento-approved text inappropriate.
Gay activist Harvey Milk, who admitted to a relationship with a 16-year-old when in his 30s, was featured in the work. This led TVUSD president Dr. Joseph Komrosky to question why a pedophile was even mentioned in the first place.
The school board ultimately capitulated when threatened by Newsom with a $1.5 million fine.
The few Republican state leaders blasted the law as an extreme overreach. State Assemblyman Josh Hoover (R) categorized it as “just another example of Sacramento stepping in and telling local school districts what they can and cannot do.”
