President Obama’s open-bathrooms campaign already has been taken to court by the state of North Carolina, as well as a civil and religious rights organization, the Alliance Defending Freedom, on behalf of several schools, and decisions are somewhere in the future.
But the overall effort took a major hit just days ago in California, where a judge ruled in a case that has been in the courts for several years already that agenda critics deserve to have more information on the government’s actions.
At issue is the state’s AB 1266, a law adopted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2013 that allows students in schools to use facilities, showers, restrooms, locker rooms, etc., based on their “gender identity.”
This law, long before Obama began publicly mandating such policy for public facilities and schools nationwide, was opposed by an organization called Privacy For All Students.
Members collected more than 620,000 signatures of California voters to qualify the issue for a referendum that would overturn the law, but elections officials disqualified more than 20 percent, leaving the referendum effort only 17,276 signatures short of the requirement to qualify for the ballot.

In the original Star Wars movie, the freak show was in a bar. Every aspect of our society is becoming that freak show.
Having studied referendum law, I can tell you the Sec. of State went above and beyond to disqualify this petition.
They need an index finger referendum in that crazy state.
Yes....I’ve been thinking of that bar scene as America for awhile. Hoping that we at some point soon gather our wits and return to “normal”
