California lawmakers approve bill prohibiting book bans by school districts; Newsom expected to sign

Published Sep. 13, 2023

California lawmakers passed a bill last week prohibiting books from being banned in public school districts because of content related to gender or racial diversity, and now, the governor is expected to sign it into law.

Last Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom showed his support of the bill, suggesting he plans to make it law.

“California is the true freedom state: a place where families — not political fanatics — have the freedom to decide what’s right for them,” he said. “With the passage of this legislation that bans book bans and ensures all students have textbooks, our state’s Family Agenda is now even stronger. All students deserve the freedom to read and learn about the truth, the world, and themselves.”

The state Senate passed the bill mostly along party lines last week; in May, it had no problem passing in the Assembly.

Under the bill, school districts would be fined for banning books.

They are just hell-bent on ramming this disgusting stuff down the throats of innocent children.  People with children in California really should be making every effort to move out.
