Jacobin California Meets Its Resistance

groomers versus parents

California is rolling into a nosedive, and the lunatics aiming the airplane at the ground are all-in on just one topic: the relentless sexualization of childhood, in the context of the policy-ruined family.

Recently, the Chino Valley Unified School District implemented a parental notification policy that forbids the obvious grooming behavior of keeping a student’s campus-declared sexual identity a secret from parents. Today, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a pedophile’s wet dream of a prosecutor, announced that he’s suing the district to protect the vital civil right of keeping sexual secrets from mommy and daddy, who don’t need to know about the sexy discussions their yummy little twelve year-olds are having with strangers at school.

A reminder that the California legislature is already very proud that twelve year-olds can get their birth control and abortions without mommy and daddy knowing, which isn’t creepy at all.

While Bonta uses the courts to protect childhood sexual secrecy from parents, Wiener is maneuvering as the principal co-author of Asm. Lori Wilson’s AB 957. The original text of that bill made a parent’s affirmation of a child’s sexual identity a factor for a judge to consider during a custody hearing involving parents who are divorcing. As the bill moves toward passage in its final form, though, the shifting language of the thing more and more clearly elevates “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity” as the paramount value in determining child custody and visitation rights. When parents are allowed to know their child’s sexual secrets, they’re on the verge of being more aggressively required to submit to the sexualization of childhood — or to risk losing their right to be parents to their own children.

But California’s batshit descent into total madness is picking up serious resistance, even in a deep-blue state. One of the state’s few sane legislators, the Inland Empire Republican Bill Essayli, speaks clearly on Bonta’s latest maneuver:

In Sacramento this morning, parents and other family advocates rallied against the state’s most obviously insane legislation:

Our message is clear: we will not let the government take away our right to raise our children according to our values. As parents, we have the ultimate say in our children's upbringing, education, and medical care, and we WILL NOT allow politicians to interfere with those decisions.

The end of the legislative session is approaching, and it's crucial that we take action now to stop these bills from reaching Governor Gavin Newsom's desk for a signature:

AB 665 - State-Sanctioned Kidnapping Bill

AB 957 - Judges Must Side with Gender Affirming Parents Over Custody

AB 1078 - The State Taking Control Over Local School Boards

AB 5 - Training Teachers to Profile Non-LGBTQ+ Affirming Parents

The often-heard “just move out of California” argument misses what’s happening: In last year’s grim-but-somewhat-less-insane legislative session, parental opposition defeated the disgusting SB 866, which would have allowed medical practitioners to sneak-vaccinate children without parental knowledge or consent. The legislature’s groomer king was outraged, telling journalists that California voters had been mean to him.

More “harassment” is coming; California parents are an increasingly angry and aggressive force against a legislature that has hurled its moral compass into a purging fire, attacking the family and committing to the sexualization of children. If you’re a parent in California, follow the parents’ rights group Our Duty, and co-lead Erin Friday, on the site formerly and still mostly known as Twitter. These bills can be defeated, as we saw last year. Even in a very blue state, the legislature is meeting fierce resistance on its path to hell. Join in. Stop them.
