California travel ban.

Have you guys seen this?



California is implementing travel ban to Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas due to "discrimination" in said states.



"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this month signed a law that allows child welfare providers to deny services because of “sincerely held religious beliefs,” a provision that critics interpreted as permitting adoption agencies to deny services to gay families.



Alabama and South Dakota were added to California’s list of banned states because of similar adoption-related laws. The California Department of Justice said Kentucky’s Senate Bill 17 allows student-run organizations in schools to discriminate against classmates.



The California law includes exemptions for law enforcement officers, tax auditors and training events that are required for grants. California’s tax-collecting Board of Equalization has an office in Houston."



ha ha. What a utterly stupid world we live in. Does california have any idea (yes, they do) how many tax payer dollars are going to unethical practices in their own state? The absurdity of this is simply unreal.

So California is basically saying individuals are no longer allowed to have "sincerely held religious beliefs" with which they don't agree.



Want to know why Trump won? This is why. Liberal, costal elites think they know better than the rest of us how we should be living our lives.

And will be damned if they can't control some aspect of it. Even with his warts, I'm so relieved that Trump staved off the liberal attack for 4 years. If nothing else it is forcing the left to show that they are the more violent, hateful, bigoted group. Can't conservatives in CA find a single judge willing to block this (since that seems to be the game these days)?

Is this real? How completely ridiculous. California is beyond broken.

Whooooaaaaaaa. Our world is broken. I wish MJ were still here to heal it.

If only they could ban their businesses from relocating to Texas.....

This topic continues to press on and will because there are so many in this country that have the same viewpoint as those being expressed in California. It's just a matter of time.



It's sad that a solution can not be found in this discussion and that it seems that those with the power in their hands can make policy for everyone. I guess we try to enjoy things the way they are as they will continue to grow dimmer. I'm not naturally a pessimist, but based on these last five years, it doesn't seem that the one side will capitulate until everything is their way, because there has been no one that can stop them from taking that position.

Maybe the beautiful wall can built to include California

Seems like a reciprocal law should be enacted nationwide. Anyone that California or any other state bans is automatically banned by every other state.



Sort of a counter boycott.

So what is the potential impact during the bowl season? Can we assume the ban would cover the coaches of California state schools since they are state employees?



How many bowls are in Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas that have the potential for a California state institution to participate?



Good news for BYU in an "at-large" bowl year?

The ban also includes Kentucky. We are just glad that we won't see UCLA in Rupp Arena anytime soon since now the coaches who are state employees can't travel here. I wonder how many sports events they will have to cancel in those states from California schools.

Louisville, KY



Go Cougs!

Glad I got out of CA. Day doesn't go by that I don't thank the Lord.



CA is hypocritical. Trump can't impose a travel ban but CA can.



Oh well...every time I see things like this I tell myself it's supposed to get worse before it gets better. Looks like we're right on track.

The ban prohibits state employees from using state funds for travel to the affected states. It doesn't prohibit travel if other funds, such as donations, are used.



I suspect that the AG will issue an amended directive that exempts college academic and athletic teams.

As far as sports, I see this as a huge hit on all public univ. coaches. No more travel to some of the most fertile recruiting grounds.

I wonder how long until Utah gets banned? And could Fla and Ohio be far behind? Cal is digging their own grave. All this banning from a "tourist" state too. Pretty soon all they will have will be harbors as the tech companies continue to flee to more favorable tax and cost of living states.

Did you see the Tennessee legislature state that they would not reciprocate and called on other states to not escalate the nonsense that California is spreading.

While I'm not sure if it is the most ridiculous part of this mess, it's amazing California doesn't enforce the same ban on foreign nations with similar laws like China or Russia. The hypocrisy knows no end.

and the Hollywood lefties continue to support and celebrate countries and ideologies that kill homosexuals.
