For more than 100 years, California citizens have held an extraordinary power — the right to bypass their politicians and vote directly on laws through ballot initiatives.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta fields questions during a press conference on Aug. 28, 2023, in Los Angeles. Recent— presented as the “Protect Kids of California Act of 2024”— for voters to consider this November.
As required by California law, proponents submitted the measure to Bonta to receive a neutral official title and summary to use in petitions. Bonta then returned the measure with a new title with a negative and misleading slant: the “Restricts Rights of Transgender Youth Initiative.” And he gave it a summary that was not only completely prejudicial and designed to mislead the electorate — it also contained lies.
For example, the initiative states that “female students should have fair and safe opportunities to compete in athletic programs.” But Bonta’s biased summary does not include such language. Instead, Bonta describes the initiative as “prohibit transgender female students from participating in female sports.”
Bonta’s agenda is contrary to every facet of the measure, and he is wielding his power to eviscerate the rights of proponents by incorporating lies into his biased summary. He is well aware of recent polling finding that California voters, regardless of political party, are largely against schools keeping secrets from parents, sex changes on children, and biological males invading female sports and spaces.
