LA County BANS all official travel to Florida and Texas

Too woke to travel: LA County BANS all official travel to Florida and Texas claiming recent policies there are anti-LGBTQ and 'designed to encourage harassment and suffering'
The county's all-female board accused Texas and Florida of 'egregious conduct'
They said they would not attend official business in either state for as long as the Parental Rights Bill is in place

The bill bans discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms from kindergarten through to third grade, when kids are nine
Parents in Republican states say it is needed to stop progressive school boards forcing the issue on their kids.

Critics say it is discriminatory towards LGBTQ kids and that it censors discussion
It's unclear how many trips LA County officials were planning to take and how many have been canceled as a result of the protest

Some residents said it was a selfish decision by the woke board that continuously puts personal belief before duty

New York's Mayor Eric Adams has also weighed in on the Don't Say Gay row

He erected ads in Texas and Florida inviting residents to move to New York

Fine with me. I doubt Texas or Florida will miss the California revenue.

I doubt Adams will get a lot of takers.

And Texas will be better for the loss of those who do take Adam's offer.

And I'm never setting foot in Wash state or OR or west of the Sierras for the rest of my life. So there.

To me, California is like golf.

I played a game of golf -- once.

There will be many states wanting to get on this list.

Blue laws tend to cause out-migration. And there is the generational thing, how kids who have fundamentalist dogma rammed down their gullet grow up to want to figure it out for themselves. Young people are hard wired for that.

Shame they didn't put Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah on that list years ago. Use to be great places to vacation.

I'm trying to keep them from finding out Arkansas exists.

That shouldn't be hard.

What you're talking about isn't a "blue law." Nobodies telling anyone who they can go to bed with. Most Americans actually agree with the proposition that the moral and sexual education of children is a primarily family responsibility and that instruction on sexual dysphoria, in fact sex ed in schools generally below grade three isn't appropriate which is actually what the issue in Texas was. So nothing is being "rammed down" anyone's gullet. Get your facts straight. I personally would have preferred that the cut off for the discussion of sexual issues in school should be 6th grade.

Since when is making a topic off limits before the age of 10 as age inappropriate "ramming dogma down their gullet???" Is New Jersey's new policy on teaching gender identity which teaches in 2nd grade that a person can choose their sexual identity regardless of genitalia just ok with you? Is that ramming ideology down the kid's gullet?

In fact sexual issues are discussed very openly in the public schools of Texas at the secondary level. I know because I taught in them. The very conservative community I live in has a pretty conservative high school which among other student clubs has a "Gay/Straight Alliance." I didn't notice a lot of discrimination of the gay kids at that school.

Now personally I'd prefer less people in Texas but that isn't happening because life is pretty darn good here especially compared to NYC where I have also lived and was an open sewer then, though not quite as awful as it is now.

ART,,
it is just Togor trying to justify his hard left leanings,


meanwhile, had a guy tonight at work tell me he left Cali for a reason,
I reminded him that since he left Cali, he needed to leave all the Cali BS (in a polite way) in Cali, that he was not there anylonger,

he agreed completely, and was quite happy to have left the state,

hopefully he will not vote like a Californian here in VA, we have enough problems with the liberal agenda as it is
