A California state bill designed to prevent anti-LGBT discrimination at private universities is threatening to expose faith-based schools to enormous legal threats, school officials warn.
SB 1146, introduced in February by state Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, which passed the state Senate May 26, is designed to close “a little-known loophole” in California law under which private colleges can make admission, housing, and faculty decisions based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, according to a press release from Lara’s office.

EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 66270-66271.1
66270. No person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any characteristic listed or defined in Section 11135 of the Government Code or any other characteristic that is contained in the prohibition of hate crimes set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 422.6 of the Penal Code in any program or activity conducted by any postsecondary educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls students who receive state student financial aid.
GRRR!!
So by using constitutionally unprotected LGBT “rights” to trump 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech rights, California would be continuing to violate citizens' 14th Amendment protections, Section 1 of that amendment expressly prohibiting the states from abridging rights that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
And by establishing LGBT people as a protected / privileged class, California would also be continuing to effectively violate the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 10 of Article I imo, where the states expressly prohibited themselves from doing such things.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphasis added].
I thought there was some sort of title 9 thing that allows religious schools to opt out. Would that federal law trump state law?
Could church-run schools be under attack? If so, here’s another one.
LGBT Bill Does Not Threatens California’s Religious Schools Home Schoolers
Leftists (Dems) hate Christianity. It is as simple as that. And they want to censor or destroy anything that does not go along with their perverse lifestyles.
It is one thing to want certain liberties its another thing to use the force of law against a private institution.
I tried to find the MA and HA ping list names but no success so far.
Maybe I should re-start and make a new list, what do you think? No one is doing them now.
What is MA and HA little jeremiah?
The Homosexual Agenda and Moral Absolutes Ping lists. I took over the HA list and invented the MA and wagglebee has been doing them for quite some time, and someone else also helped out but he hasn’t replied when I’ve asked him about the ping list of names. I don’t have the list any more and wagglebee has not been on FR for a few months, I think early April.
Got it. Thank you for the response.
That might be a good idea. Perhaps you can use the old ping list if you have access to it.
Sadly, I do not have the lists any more. I’ve tried to get ahold of the person who I think has them besides wagglbee but have not heard back. I suppose I could do a vanity and say I am doing the lists again and anyone who wants on, freepmail me. What do you think?
I think that would be a good idea. If Wagglebee returns, he’ll understand.
I think I will do it. If not today (got too much on my plate already and should not even be spending 5 minutes on my computer), then tomorrow.
