California Would Ban Boys' and Girls' Toy, Clothing Sections under New Bill

A new bill in the California state assembly would ban stores from separating their toys, clothing and childcare items into boys’ and girls’ sections and would fine them $1,000 if they did so.

The bill, sponsored by Democratic Assemblymember Evan Low (Silicon Valley), says each “retail department store shall maintain one, undivided area of its sales floor where, if it sells toys, all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed.”

The bill, AB2826, includes similar language for clothing and “childcare articles” such as pacifiers. It would apply only to retail chains with 500 or more employees, with each violation costing $1,000.

A legislative counsel’s digest accompanying the bill makes clear its intent.

“This bill would require a retail department store … to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where, if it sells childcare articles, children’s clothing, or toys, all childcare items, all clothing for children, or all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed,” the digest says.

The goal is to have a “gender-neutral” retail department, the bill says.

A press release from Low’s office said children should not feel “stigmatized for wearing a dinosaur shirt or playing with a Barbie doll.” Separating toys and clothes by gender “makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare products,” the release added. It also “incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate,” the press release said.

“I was inspired to introduce this bill after 8-year-old Britten asked, ‘Why should a store tell me what a girl’s shirt or toy is?’” Low said.

The bill would “help children express themselves freely and without bias,” he added.

“We need to let kids be kids,”

I’m pretty sure at this point i’m living in the twilight Zone. These a-holes must be stopped. When was the last time they actually did something good for the country?

[Mass insanity.]

Spirit of antichrist. Initiated by the prince of this world and his principalities and powers.

Aided and abetted by liberals and most Democrats (same thing, usually).

Young boys that are aware of their maleness really frustrated pedos. This is designed to help them molest kids more easily.

All according to plan. His real father's plan (John 8:44) - he worked that plan, too. Quite the Manchurian Candidate from the pit of Hell.

Rubbish! Californication needs to cut back to a part time legislature. Like one month per year.

Why not outlaw the men’s and women’s sections too?

And we CERTAINLY no longer need a pet section.
