What a shitty clickbait title. Makes it sound like this is a bad thing, even though the article doesn't paint it in that way. I'm sure people who only read the title will stir up a bit of outrage over nothing.
Before anyone says it, I know the title is the same as the article. I'm aiming my criticism at that, not the post.
“Because discrimination based on caste is already prohibited under these existing categories, this bill is unnecessary,” he said in the statement.
Just to highlight the reason for the veto.
So he didn't want to add another bullet point to the states penal code?
*slow clap*
The penal code? No one goes to prison for discrimination. It's a civil matter.
When I read a title that sounds completely ridiculous, I tend to ignore it. Certain politicians, however, really vex me by being such ridiculous people in the first place that it turns out headlines about them are true. Thusfar, Newsom isn't one of them.
