The post-modernism that is so destructive to traditional culture is nowhere more evident than California. Its Democrat/Progressive super-majority in its legislature gives the governor carte blanche to enact pretty much any insanity he wishes, and of course he is happy to sign bills vomited out of the feeble brains of those mid-wits who California elects as its representatives. Add a maniacal regulatory state, and we have the perfect storm of craziness.
California Wants To View Air Quality Through 'Racial Equity Lens'
The job posting says the agency “is developing a racial equity impact analysis tool, known as CARB’s Racial Equity Lens, to advance the agency’s vision for racial equity — a future where all Californians equitably breathe healthy and clean air, benefit from actions to address climate change, and where race is no longer a predictor of life outcomes.”
CARB says it is seeking five “passionate community leaders and racial justice experts” to shape the Racial Equity Lens, which it calls “ground truthing.” To do this, these “experts” will need to “validate data and information by comparing it with direct, real-world observations or measurements from community members the tool is intended to serve.”
The concept of environmental protection policy being tailored to race is an expected extension of California's fixation on race as being the driver of all variation in culture. No matter that the data are clear, that there are huge variations in outcomes among minorities. The overwhelming assumption in this dystopia is that race trumps all. White people (men in particular) are injured less by pollution... by "Climate Change..." by every social variable that these mad social scientists can conjure.
But not just race! Psychiatric pathology is now a reason for protection and elevation to the cherished top of the grievance pyramid!
Ryan Starling told Fox News Digital that the loss of his daughter's varsity spot disrupted his entire family emotionally, as cross-country played a pivotal role in her life. And then when his daughter and other girls on the team confronted their school administrators about it, he claims they were told "transgenders have more rights than cisgenders." [bolding mine]
Of course in the backward and racist/sexist Midwest, where people are stupid and ignorant and don't even eat kale, they do things like protect high school girls. How very revanchist of them! And because they are irredeemably evil and traditional, they are trying to extend that protection to college women athletes!
Indiana Lawmakers Are Looking To Extend Transgender Ban Into College Sports
The current law in Indiana, which was introduced back in 2022, bans anyone who was born a male from competing against girls who are in kindergarten all the way through high school. Well, lawmakers want to expand that into college, with Republican State Reps. Chris Jeter, Robert Heaton, Joanna King and Michelle Davis filing a bill to do so.
“To ensure a level playing field, it’s important that girls compete against girls, and boys against boys,” wrote Davis in an official statement sent to the Indy Star. “As a mother and legislator, I authored this bill because I’ve heard directly from Hoosier parents who want to ensure female athletes have a fair shot at competing and earning recognition.”
Does anyone think that the election of Donald Trump to his second (third?) term has anything to do with this?
I sure do.
Trump and MAGA are becoming the lodestar for our journey back to a more sane America. He has made his feelings clear, and he does not support the transgender lunacy on our playing fields and in our military, and rejects the obsessive fixation on race.
For that alone he is worth the price of admission! And California can huff and puff and erect legal barriers to the coming changes, but all they will do is drive the remaining sane people to states that don't celebrate anti-scientific social engineering and the destruction of traditional society.
