The 2025 legislative session brought out the RINOs

Monday, October 20, 2025, 11:41 am | Randy Thomasson

Many pro-family Californians don’t understand why most Republican legislators in the California State Legislature joined the supermajority Democrats in approving AB 715, which will purge the fact of only two sexes, the natural family, and more from California’s K-12 government schools. After all, this would be the 14th statewide school sexual indoctrination law — so why did 28 of 30 Republicans vote “yes”?

Given the anti-family agendas of these authors, Republican legislators should have been highly suspicious of AB 715. And if they didn’t read or understand this deceptive sexual indoctrination bill, they should have abstained instead of voting yes. Sadly, they didn’t.

AB 715 was dressed up as an “antisemitism” bill. But that was just the cover story.

AB 715 is a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus,” and its top two authors are homosexual activist Rick Zbur, who used to head the state’s “LGBT” activism group, and “unlimited genders” activist Dawn Addis, author of AB 1487, the “Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund” bill.

AB 715 will be used as a sledgehammer against conservative school boards by making Education Code, Section 220, which includes and promotes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation,” a huge eraser of anything in its path.

Here’s how:

STEP 1: Transsexual “rights” are already in Education Code, Section 220, which prohibits “discrimination” of “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” And Section 220 includes “any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code,” which includes these words:

(2) Gender.

(6) Sexual orientation.

Then these words are further defined in Section 422.56:

(c) “Gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender expression. “Gender expression” means a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior regardless of whether it is stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.

(h) “Sexual orientation” means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.

STEP 2: AB 715 orders K-12 school governing bodies that they “shall not adopt or approve” any teachings that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination pursuant to section 220.” Because the word “discrimination” is not defined in AB 715, and can be very broadly applied to be anything that offends “LGBTQIA+” activists.

STEP 3: Leftist lawsuits will use AB 715 to purge anything in K-12 government schools that offends “trans” activists, who have and will cry “discrimination” over real science and real history about human physiology, the natural family, and American history. AB 715 can erase it all.  

Republican legislators didn’t connect these dots, but SaveCalifornia.com did, and the “LGBTQIA+” certainly will. Let no one be deceived… “LGBTQIA+” activists wanted AB 715 so they could sexually indoctrinate children all the more. 

For AB 715 prohibiting any material that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” can subjectively lead to purging K-12 government schools of any teaching or depiction of man-woman marriage, boys growing up to be men, girls growing up to be women, the Christian foundation of Thanksgiving and of the United States of America, and more. 

At its core, AB 715 will erase history and science for millions of California children.

What’s more, AB 715 pushes pro-“trans” “restorative justice practices,” where “restorative justice practitioners” make “offenders” take responsibility for their actions, to understand “the harm” they have caused, to give them “an opportunity to redeem themselves,” and to “discourage them from causing further harm.”

Again, if Republican legislators didn’t know this, they should have at least abstained on AB 715 once they saw the pro-perversity leftist Democrat authors and heard how the bill was sponsored by the pro-LGBTQIA+ “Diversity Caucus.”

Similarly, Assembly Republicans should have opposed AB 86, instead of supporting this extreme, school sexual indoctrination bill. Newsom’s veto of AB 86 is to their shame.

AB 86 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner would have required the California State Board of Education to adopt K-8 “health education … instructional materials.” All based on the anti-family 2019 curriculum frameworks requiring kids in grades 7 through 12 to be positively taught to accept masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, abortion, and more.

This one-sentence bill reads: “On or before July 1, 2028, the state board shall adopt instructional materials for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, pursuant to the requirements of this article and in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019.” 

To understand how bad AB 86 was, connect the dots:

STEP 1: Pass AB 329 in 2015 and get the State Board of Education to implement it in 2019: AB 329 (signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2015 and implemented in 2019 through the new “sexual health” standards approved by State Board of Education appointees of Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov. Gavin Newsom) teaches children as young as 7th grade that any consensual sexual behavior is “safe” as long as you “protect” yourself with a condom, and teaches children that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality is “normal.” AB 329 requires children to learn all kinds of sexual examples and practices: masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, transsexuality, and unlimited “genders,” as well as promoting abortion. Under the guise of “health” education, AB 329, dubbed the “California Healthy Youth Act,” is mandatory for grades 7-12 and optional for younger grades.

STEP 2: In 2025, write AB 86 so briefly, yet so specifically, as to expand the indoctrination from older children down to the youngest students by requiring the State Board of Education to adopt “instructional materials for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8” — in full “alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019,” thus providing all the sexual anarchy and experimentation of AB 329 from 2015 and from the State Board of Education’s 2019 “health” framework.

STEP 3: In committees and on the Assembly floor, “sell” AB 86 as a simple update that benefits the “health” of younger children. Present it as so “simple” and vague that only smart, caring, pro-family legislators want to investigate it and connect the dots (no Republican spoke against AB 86 on the Assembly floor).

Kudos to all 10 State Senate Republicans, who voted “no” on AB 86 on Sept. 9. But it’s a head-shaking shame that this evil bill passed the State Assembly on May 29 with the “yes” votes of 11 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Carl DeMaio, Diane Dixon, Stan Ellis, Heath Flora, James Gallagher, Jeff Gonzalez, Josh Hoover, Alexandra Macedo, and Greg Wallis.

The only logical conclusion is they were fools for not studying Democrat-authored bills but still voting for them, or RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) trying to curry favor with “LGBTQIA+” activists in their districts.

Which Assembly Republicans voted the most FOR these anti-family bills that Newsom signed + AB 86*, which he vetoed?

#1 Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs Area (AB 45, AB 86, AB 260, AB 715, AB 822, AB 932, AB 935, AB 1084, SB 59, SB 403)

#6 Jeff Gonzalez of Imperial County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County (AB 86, AB 715, AB 932)

#7 Josh Hoover of east Sacramento County (AB 86, AB 715, AB 822)

What to do about RINOs? Replace them by refusing to support them.

Having a Democrat win the seat for a term will allow you to help expose their evil deeds, and importantly, give you motivation to recruit and support a conservative, constitutional, pro-family fighter to win in the next election.

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.”

URGENT: Demand ‘Republicans’ oppose these anti-family, ‘LGBTQIA+’ bills

Saturday, May 31, 2025, 8:15 am | Randy Thomasson
This is an emergency alert to STOP Republican state legislators from voting in favor of anti-family sexual perversity — BIG votes June 2-6!

SCROLL DOWN FOR YOUR ACTION STEPS

PROBLEM #1: In the worst example in decades of Republicans selling out family values in California, 2 awful Democrat Party bills to sexually indoctrinate children all the more HAVE PASSED the State Assembly, with RINOs joining the supermajority Democrats.

AB 86 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner would require the California State Board of Education to adopt K-8 “sexual health education materials.” All based on the anti-family 2019 curriculum frameworks requiring kids to be positively taught to accept masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, abortion, and more.

AB 86 has been sent to the State Senate after its May 29 passage on the Assembly floor (see video 3:12:00 to 3:13:17 in which no Republican spoke against it; voting yes for this sexual indoctrination bill were 51 Democrats + 11 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Carl DeMaio, Diane Dixon, Stan Ellis, Heath Flora, James Gallagher, Jeff Gonzalez, Josh Hoover, Alexandra Macedo, and Greg Wallis; abstaining were 8 Republicans: Leticia Castillo, Phillip Chen, Heather Hadwick, Tom Lackey, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Tri Ta, and David Tangipa). Previously, on May 23, this bad bill passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats + Republicans Diane Dixon and David Tangipa; no vote recorded for Republicans Kate Sanchez and Tri Ta). Earlier, on March 12, this bad bill passed the Assembly Education Committee (voting yes was nearly every Democrat + Republicans Josh Hoover of east Sacramento County and Leticia Castillo of west Riverside County; Democrat Robert Garcia of Rancho Cucamonga did not vote).

AB 715 authored by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur, a homosexual activist, would order that K-12 government schools “shall not adopt or approve adopt, approve, or allow the use of any textbook, instructional material, supplemental instructional material, or curriculum for classroom instruction if the use of the textbook, instructional material, supplemental instructional material, or curriculum would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination pursuant to Section 220.”

Deceptively sold as combating antisemitism, this bad bill (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) is based on Education Code, Section 220, which includes and promotes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” Let no one be deceived — “LGBTQIA+” activists want AB 715 to sexually indoctrinate children all the more. For AB 715 prohibiting any material that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” could result in purging K-12 government schools of any teaching or depiction of man-woman marriage, boys growing up to be men, girls growing up to be women, the Christian foundation of Thanksgiving and of the United States of America, and more. At its core, AB 715 would erase history and science for millions of California children.

AB 715 has been sent to the State Senate after its May 29 passage on the Assembly floor (voting yes were 51 Democrats + 17 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Leticia Castillo, Laurie Davies, Carl DeMaio, Diane Dixon, Stan Ellis, Heath Flora, James Gallagher, Jeff Gonzalez, Heather Hadwick, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Alexandra Macedo, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Tri Ta, Greg Wallis; abstaining were Republicans Phillip Chen and David Tangipa). Speaking in favor of AB 715 on the Assembly floor (see the video 1:50:16 to 2:18:30).were 9 Democrats (including homosexual activists Rick Zbur and Corey Jackson) + Republican Jeff Gonzalez, who foolishly claimed the bill was fulfilling Jesus Christ’s command “that we love our neighbor.” 

PROBLEM #2: The first week of the month — June 2 through 6 — are deadline Assembly floor sessions, where MORE BAD BILLS that “Republicans” will be tempted to support will come up for votes. So please CALL the Republicans to say it’s UNACCEPTABLE for them to support these anti-family bills!
EMERGENCY ALERT: Tell the Republicans to oppose anti-family, “LGBTQIA+” bills coming up for votes

WHAT TO SAY: Tell Republicans, “I want you to stand and speak against the anti-family ‘LGBTQIA+” agenda bills! You need to expose and oppose AB 727 (pushing a pro-transsexuality group upon children), AB 908 (pushing more “LGBT” curriculum upon kids), AB 932 (pushing transsexuality in school and community sports programs), AB 1084 (cutting out parents from children’s so-called “sex changes”), and AB 1487 (taxpayer funding of transsexual “outreach” to ruin more children).”

5 ANTI-FAMILY, ‘LGBTQIA+’ BILLS SET FOR ASSEMBLY FLOOR VOTES JUNE 2-6

AB 727 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Mark Gonzalez + 4 other Democrats would promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-transsexuality suicide hotline number to be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12, including at private schools. According to AB 727, a suicide hotline for “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.” This would also be a mandate upon private religious schools that issue student ID cards.

AB 908 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Jose Solache would require an annual compliance review of the current law requiring “social sciences to include a study of the role and contributions of, among others, people of all genders, Latino Americans, LGBTQ+ Americans, and members of other ethnic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic status groups.” The goal of this bad bill is to ensure pro-“LGBT+” curriculum is taught to children in all K-12 government school districts.

AB 932 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin prohibits “gender” discrimination in city and county sports programs. In the California statutes, “gender” means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” As such, this bill would still promote transsexuality over people’s consciences, would invade girls’ sports in particular, and opens the door to lawsuits against dissenters. In sum, the amended AB 932 tells public schools and city/county/special district sports facilities that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms and restrooms, and vice versa — or risk a private party lawsuit that aims to penalize you with financial damages. As the latest Legislative Counsel’s Digest describes, AB 932 would prohibit “a city, county, city and county, special district, school district, county office of education, or charter school from discriminating against a person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct, or administration of community youth athletics programs or interscholastic athletic programs, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources or school and recreation facilities and resources that support or enable these programs.”

AB 1084 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur + other “LGBTQ Caucus” members would fast-track legal changes to minors’ “genders.” The new “gender identifier” will be granted unless parents file a written objection “showing good cause” within 6 weeks of the original petition being filed – and courts have up to 30 days to notify them. This does not give adequate time for parents to find out, get an attorney, and file a well-writtten objection “showing good cause” why the new “gender identifier” should not be granted.

AB 1487 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Dawn Addis proposes to rename the State Dept. of Public Health’s current “Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex Wellness and Equity Fund” as “the Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund” to receive taxpayer-funded appropriations to fund “TGI-serving organizations” to get to “asylees and immigrants” and “transitional-age 2TGI youth” (TGI = “transgender, transsexual, gender-diverse, and intersex”).
