California Puts $5 Billion at Risk over Gender Scheme in Schools

It’s been an amazing week in California news, both for what’s in the headlines as well as what’s not. The Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday that sex-assault claims are so widespread in Los Angeles Unified schools that board members took a break from their liquidation of the bourgeoisie to ask Evil Wall Street bankers to finance another $250 million for settlements. That brings the district’s total budget for such settlements to $750 million.

Meantime, neither the Los Angeles Times nor any other major California news org noted the release of a yearlong federal investigation into California’s schools. In its eye-popping 20-page report, the U.S. Department of Education concludes that top California officials ran — are still running! — a massive scheme to hide student gender-transition plans from parents. Parents, state officials believe, are a danger to their own children, a danger so terrifying that only government officials can parent the little ones.
