California Moves Toward Criminalizing Criticism of Teachers Who Push Transgenderism on Kids in School
The state of California is considering legislation that would make it a misdemeanor crime, punishable with up to one year in jail, to criticize teachers who are pushing transgender indoctrination
SB 596, written by Sen. Anthony Portantino, will “address the issue of teachers facing harassment and aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students and teachers.” It will do so by ending the 1st Amendment rights for supporters of radical transgender ideology.
The legislation states that “any person who subjects a school employee to threats or harassment while the employee is away from a schoolsite or after school hours for reasons related to the employee’s course of duties” could be fined as much as $1,000 and jailed for up to one year.
What constitutes “harassment” would be determined by far-left judges, prosecutors and bureaucrats who are in the back pocket of the groomer-industrial complex, of course. Harassment is defined in the bill as a “knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, or harasses the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose.”
