California stores with more than 500 employees will be fined for not having a "gender-neutral" toy section. Traditional boys and girls sections won't be outlawed, but a gender-neutral section must also be created.
This is government-compelled speech.
The government is deciding to tell a religious person, that they haveto use certain words to advertise toys, and those words might violate the belief systems of that particular business owner.
Failure to comply after Jan. 1, 2024, will result in civil penalties, enforced through legal action by the state attorney general, district attorney, or city attorney, with penalties ranging from $250 to $500 for subsequent violations.
What this is really about is the leftist conviction that children cannot be allowed to be children, occupying a separate world of imagination and wonder, but must be indoctrinated into their political fight as soon as possible.
Play is the business of childhood. From the Victorian era onward, civilized societies worked to create ‘safe spaces’ for children to grow and learn before that became a term for whiny leftist adults. True adults protected children, preserving their innocence while they developed into unique people.
These radical leftists (like Newsom and Low) who demand safe spaces for themselves are taking them away from children.

Children are being put to work, not in factories, which would be kinder by comparison, but in radical causes designed to destroy their innocence.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6)."
