I present to you case # 2,445,445,444.5 why the left is evil incarnate.
California’s large retailers would have to do away with boy and girl signage for toys and child care aisles, under a bill being considered by state lawmakers.
Assembly Bill 1084 would require retailers with 500 or more employees “to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where the majority of those items being offered are displayed, regardless of whether an item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys,” according to the Legislative Counsel’s digest of the bill.
The bill would also prohibit the use of signage to indicate whether a particular child care item or toy is for boys or girls. Online retailers with a physical presence in California would be required to label their toy and child care sections in a unisex or gender neutral way.
Why would you want govt dictating to companies how to market their products to consumers? And regulating FREE SPEECH rights to describe and print labels and packaging for most effective marketing???
Now if CA wants to promote a certain culture: Why not give TAX BREAKS to companies that choose to meet their labeling or social engineering standards? Nothing wrong with giving tax incentives. But not fair to punish or force companies to comply with social legislation that doesn't have anything to do with public health and safety regulations preventing risks of danger, harm or damage to consumers. Social legislation is subjective and up to individual choice, so this could be rewarded with grants or tax breaks but not punished or coerced by govt mandates.
Let's just mandate that ALL products be packaged in generic brown paper wrappers with no descriptions and a set price. You just grab-a-bag and go. Do you put girls cap sleeve T-shirts with regular sleeve T-shirts? This just makes product selection more difficult for consumers. What happened to retailers who try to make things more convenient for the customer? SMH. Again we disenfranchise the majority because a vocal minority wants to make a point.
I really question where does this AUTHORITY come from? That decides the MEDIA narrative?
The same Liberals OPPOSE the POPE for dictating policy unless it matches this Narrative.
The same Liberals insist on using both the Judiciary/Supreme Court, the Presidency, and the Speakers or other Reps in Congress
to DICTATE and DECLARE what should be public policy. Even the First Lady as a media figure who is not an ELECTED official.
Do we need to elect reps by party and state to a Cultural Constitutional Council
to address issues of cultural bias versus freedom of speech and exercise of religion, beliefs and creeds?
The Media and the Parties are NOT regulated by the Bill of Rights as Govt is.
So do we need to set up some kind of popular-elected council of reps from every political group, belief and creed
to make sure all groups are represented and protected equally in these "public policy decisions"
(similar to how LGBT are protected even though members only constitute 4% of the population,
and Transgender only a fraction of 1%). Where is the equal protection of all other individuals,
who have their own beliefs, values and ways of expression that shouldn't be targeted for exclusion or harassment,
besides just LGBT members whose beliefs and practices cannot be discriminated against?
