Phil Weiser, the outgoing attorney general in Colorado soon to be governor whose accomplishments in office revolved around suing President Donald Trump dozens of times to pursue his own leftist agenda, and to persecute Christians for following biblical precepts, was first out of the gate to condemn voters for making the wrong choices in the midterms.
In his state, voters adopted a ban on “gender-affirming” medical treatment, that treatment also known as body-mutilating surgeries, on children, and to keep boys out of the locker rooms set aside for girls’ sports teams.
Those results were only hours old when he promised leftists that he would be adjusting and modifying those laws to accommodate his agenda because voters didn’t do it right.
Now a school board in Seattle has gone one step further. Officials there authorized a legal action against the same choice by voters in that state, because, after all, voters’ wishes really shouldn’t have any impact in a democracy.
The board of Seattle Public Schools, in a hastily called meeting this week, told district officials to hire lawyers and go to court over Initiative IL-638, which restricts boys on girls athletic teams.
Board members earlier demanded voters oppose the plan, based on the board’s claim to have a commitment to “student privacy, equal treatment and access to sports.”
Board president Gina Topp claimed, “Our responsibility as a school board is to uphold the law and protect the students and families we serve.”
Just not that law.
She said the new law raises serious questions about how the school operates.
She characterized the board’s opposition to privacy for girls in girls sports as meeting “out obligations to our students.”
Board member Joe Mizrahi said, “Washington has important laws that protect student privacy, guarantee equal access to educational opportunities, and ensure students are treated fairly.”
Voters actually adopted the plan by nearly 12 percentage points.
The threats from Weiser didn’t reach the level of a promise of court action yet. He believes since the voters approved statutes, he and the Democrat-majority legislature can simply overturn the voters’ wishes and impose his own leftism in a top-down scheme that leaves voters out of the equation.
WorldNetDaily reported Weiser’s messaging clearly is: Voters? We don’t need no voters!”
Colorado voters actually adopted three significant changes in the law, Proposition 133 increases penalties for sex traffickers, Proposition 134 requires boys in athletics to be on boys’ sports teams and away from girls’ locker rooms, and Proposition 135 bans mutilating gender surgeries on children.
Weiser characterized the results as “anti-transgender.”
Colorado officials long have pushed the transgender ideology, from homosexual Gov. Jared Polis’ office down. It’s a falsehood itself as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level and doesn’t change. The state has even tried to force citizens who have religious objections to the LGBT agenda to violate their own faith and promote it. It has lost three times in a row at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Weiser said, “Anytime you have a ballot measure that’s statutory, it is a natural and, I believe, appropriate role of the legislature to say, ‘What are the adjustments that need to be added?'”
He has claimed that the voters approved plans that demand “adjustments” since the laws are “not administrable.”
The result of his activism was a wave of criticism for his decision to disregard the will of the voters.
