Newsom is Caving
Newsom is starting to walk back his student mandate, stressing the personal belief exemption allows “plenty of latitude for families to make decisions.”
As parents fight back like never before, this is a clear sign he’s looking for a way out. It also means any attempt by the Legislature to remove the personal belief exemption is probably dead on arrival. Still, it’s crucial that we keep up the pressure.
In another good sign, this morning LA Unified appeared to call off its student mandate for the coming semester. Though sadly, it already fired 500 staff, displaying the kind of leadership that’s made LAUSD one of the worst-performing districts in America.
Meanwhile, Newsom is back from New York, where he took a break from our “State of Emergency” to promote his new book and hit the talk show circuit. He appeared on the View, the Daily Show, and the Late Late Show in what might have been called a Tour de Lies.
For instance, Newsom absurdly claimed “Florida’s death rate is 53% higher than California’s” and “California did better economically than Florida.” In reality, age-adjusted mortality in the two states is similar and California’s unemployment rate is 59% higher.
This comes as the Surgeon General has acknowledged a youth mental health crisis related to COVID shutdowns. No one saw this coming, except literally everyone who cared in the slightest.
It’s why everywhere I go, patriots throughout California are fired up and ready for 2022. As for my plans, I should be able to make an announcement soon. Thank you so much for all your feedback. It’s been the most important factor guiding my decision.
