Arroyo Grande is halfway between San Francisco and LA, a bedroom community for San Luis Obispo, which is the wokest city on the central California coast. Arroyo Grande was always more conservative than San Luis Obispo.
I lived in that area for eight years. My old friends who moved away when we were young are now retiring back there, because it's a lovely place and has a perfect climate. But we wouldn't move back because we know what a transgenderist nightmare it would be.
I can't believe a relatively conservative town is putting high school girls through this. It's a signal to all of us that conservatism does not necessarily protect us.
CIF is following California law. Unless and until Trump’s DOJ can establish in court that this is a violation of federal law, CIF has no choice but to follow California law. So let’s put the blame where it belongs: on the Democrats in office who unanimously refuse to change the law.
Questions: (1) What's the CA law that allows men/boys into sports designated for women/girls? I know the CA laws on public accommodations and prisons, but I don't know the one on sports. (2) In your opinion, what would happen if CIF said to the state, "Too bad, we're following federal law now, and under Title IX, allowing men/boys to compete in sports designed for women/girls constitutes unlawful sex discrimination."? That would piss off the CDOE and the AG, but what would be their next step?
(2) CIF is only an advisory organization to the individual schools, it has no real power. If CIF went rogue and advised schools to exclude boys who falsely claim to be girls from girls' sports, the AG would immediately sue any school that followed that advice as being in violation of AB 887. The AG has already sued schools that adopted a policy of informing parents of their child's social transition, which is forbidden under another California law.
My advice to Celeste and other girls is to skip the school board and CIF and go straight to their California state Representative and state Senator (both Democrats in Celeste's case). Those are the only people with the power to make an actual change.
Newsom has been a complete hypocrite on this issue. I will never vote for him for President because of it. 😡
Amen Sister! 👍
Another terrific choice, and you are so right, she should NOT have to be doing this. I have restacked.

With the disclaimer that I am not a lawyer:
(1) AB 887, passed in 2011, is California's equivalent of the federal Equality Act, very broadly forbidding discrimination on the basis of "gender identity" in many areas, "including education, housing, and employment": http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0851-0900/ab_887_cfa_20110831_202459_asm_floor.html

thank you, Celeste
