A California judge has ruled that the state’s 2018 law mandating that companies name at least one person who self-identifies as a woman to a seat on the corporate board violates the state constitution’s equal protection clause.
Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis issued the ruling Friday following a legal challenge from the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. Then-Gov. Jerry Brown, D, said when he signed the law that he did so to send a message during the #MeToo movement, despite acknowledging that the measure was on shaky legal grounds.
The law had required corporations to have one female – which, according to the bill’s text, means “an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth” – on their boards of directors by the end of 2019. By January 2022, boards with five directors had to have two women and boards with six or more members were required to have three women.
Under the Women on Boards law, S.B. 826, companies that failed to report board compositions to California’s secretary of state could face fines of up to $100,000, while multiple failures to disclose the number of female board members could cost companies a $300,000 fine.

As usual, the policies of the Left are proven to be nothing shy of a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!
I suppose 3 of 6 men on any Board of Directors could use another Leftist policy and claim to be “women” when they aren’t, to get around this new policy that was, thankfully, shut down.
People, we MUST return our focus to God if we expect this nation to return to any semblance of what it once was. Evil has permeated our politicians, our judges, our “leaders” in various govt departments, agencies, bureaus, and many of our citizens via BLM, Antifa, and other groups. ENOUGH!
We must pray, repent and place our faith in the person and work of Christ alone! May HE have mercy on our souls.
Thanks to the machinations of the rabid Left, the wild aberrations of gender are now held to constitute some 30% of the population, In actual fact they constitute less than 1% of the populace. Let them get their bodies and genitalia mutilated, whatever, but how DARE they force their their crazed gender psychosis down the throats of the remaining 99%?
