California parents and students are fed up to the eye teeth with targeting and indoctrination, whether it be the Pride Month push or the transgender agenda. Armenian and Muslim families in Glendale, California protested because of an instructor and administrator who went behind their backs to teach sexuality and gender identity to their elementary school children. Someone sent out the bat signal, because at the next school board meeting, Antifa made a showing, causing more unrest as is their wont. This is not just in California, but the state’s gaslighting governor is particularly execrable in his insistence that California must protect children from their own parents, and preaches this gospel while his Super Majority Democrat legislature does all it can to create laws to make this possible.
Enter Assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D-Alameda), who also happens to be the wife of California Attorney General Rob Bonta. Asm. Bonta practically inherited her husband’s former seat when he was tapped by Governor Gavin Newsom to take now-HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra’s place. Asm. Bonta has faced conflicts of interest already because of this, and is rumored to be slavering after Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-Oakland) congressional chair should Newsom appoint Lee as the next California Senator if and when they can divest themselves of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Hope springs eternal.
In the meantime, Asm. Bonta is busy burnishing her bona fides, gutting and amending bills to ensure anyone who opposes the state’s agenda to protect trans children and offer care to LGBTQ+ refugees fleeing those evil red states will be removed from the discussion and silenced. First, Bonta went after law enforcement by authoring AB793, meant to blunt their ability to conduct digital surveillance into individuals who may be in the state for the purpose of sanctuary for “reproductive and gender-affirming care.” Shorter: Texas parents whose 13-year-old boy is snatched from them because the boy thinks he’s a girl and the parents refuse to get with the program, is taken to California so that he can get that gender-affirming care he so desperately wants. If this bill passes, California will have no obligation to cooperate with Texas law enforcement to get the child back to his parents.
These are the days of our lives.
But Bonta’s latest effort to blunt parents’ ability to influence and overturn rogue school boards is what one former school board trustee deems “blatantly unconstitutional.”
From the Ventura County GOP:
Ventura County Republican Party Chairman John Andersen, who is a former Trustee of the Conejo Unified School District, today called Assembly Bill 1352, which is now pending in the State Senate “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The bill by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), which was recently amended in an eleventh-hour procedure known as “gut and amend”, has gone from originally extending a childcare subsidy program in eleven counties to now allow for the removal of schoolboard members who oppose “inclusive policies, practices, and curriculum. This bill appears to be the Left’s response to local school boards who try to protect our kids from being sexualized by Sacramento’s policies,” Chairman Andersen said.
“If this bill passes and becomes law, school board members who propose ideas that run afoul of Sacramento’s mandates could be removed by their Leftist colleagues with a two-thirds vote,” Andersen continued. “I can’t think of anything the Democrats have tried which is more un-American.”
Former candidate for California Superintendent of Public Instruction Lance Christensen calls it “Tin Pot Tyranny:”
Assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D.), the wife of California attorney general Rob Bonta, replaced the previous language of Assembly Bill 1352 on Tuesday to “expressly prohibit” school boards from “taking an action that contradicts any existing law requiring a school district to have inclusive policies, practices, and curriculum,” according to the revised text. The legislation had already cleared the Assembly floor and a Senate committee as an unrelated bill about childcare subsidies.
If the bill becomes law, school board members who propose ideas that run counter to California’s diversity mandates could be removed by their colleagues with a two-thirds vote–a prospect that “creates a specter of retribution” against dissenters, according to Lance Christensen, vice president of education policy and government affairs for the California Policy Center.
“We’re at tin-pot tyranny level now where any time a local official does anything that’s completely within their authority–legal and constitutional–the agitators on the left feel like they have to strip their lower offices of their duly elected officials,” Christensen said.
This will not end well for Asm. Bonta or the communities and state she supposedly represents. Bonta has a long history of these corrupt practices, but as we are seeing in Los Angeles, the temperament of the citizens has shifted and they are no longer in a mood to tolerate nonsense. Expect more of the California Exodus as parents get fed up with having to fight the government in order to protect and care for their own children, and expect more of these paper politicians ripped apart by ethical scandals and overreach.
