CA MassResistance: Stopping Redlands Leftists from Banning the Bible

 

Leftists try to ban Bible from California school district. MassResistance directs successful community opposition to a ban.

Pro-family reaction is so overwhelming that even many local radicals back down – and oppose Bible ban in their testimony.

School board (including the leftist members) vote unanimously to keep the Bible – and even expand its availability into lower grades.

Caution: Disturbing graphic language (not from the Bible!)

April 28, 2026

We knew this would eventually happen, and we were prepared for it!

Redlands, California is a conservative-leaning city of 73,000 located 60 miles east of Los Angeles. But the five-member school board had been controlled by liberals and the schools there reflected that. It caused many families to leave the school system.

School board gets conservative majority, begins taking pro-family actions

Then in November 2024, conservatives got a 3-2 majority and began making pro-family changes. The board passed a flag policy (effectively banning “LGBT” flags), and a resolution demanding protection of girls’ sports, and began work on a strong parental notification policy.

The leftists in town were livid and reacted with vicious attacks against school board members and local parents. So in August 2025, local citizens asked MassResistance to come and help them fight back. That’s made a big difference at school board meetings!

“Sexually explicit” book policy passes

On August 19, 2025, the board passed a policy against books with “sexually explicit material.” The pro-LGBT leftists were furious but were outnumbered. The process to remove a book in the Redlands schools is similar to other bureaucratic book challenge processes, and each book challenge is ultimately voted on by the school board.

In December 2025, the board dealt with two sexually explicit graphic books: It voted to remove Push by Sapphire and restricted The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison to students 18 and older or with parental consent.

Book challenge is filed against the Bible

The leftists’ continued rants at school committee meetings against the book policy went nowhere. So in March 2026, one of them filed a book complaint against the King James version of the Bible, which was in the high school library. He claimed that the Bible is obscene and pornographic.

The school board’s discussion and vote was set for its April 14 meeting. The leftists spread the word in the mainstream media about the Bible being challenged in Redlands, hoping to get outside momentum. Soon even the New York Post ran a story on it.

ALT TEXT The Redlands Bible challenge made it all the way across the country to the New York Post!

Fighting this absurd and offensive book challenge

But our California MassResistance team got right to work. We made sure our activists in Redlands had strong talking points for the public comment time. And we encouraged our people to bring other parents to the meeting. We weren’t going to let blasphemous leftists gain an inch.

So on April 14, about 50 people crowded into the school board meeting room for this issue.

The Bible’s challenger testifies

The leftist who filed the challenge had previously identified himself as a substitute teacher. When he spoke, his explanation reflected how leftists think about pornography and children. To explain how the Bible is pornographic, he brought up Genesis 19:32 and 19:36:

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father … Thus, were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

He testified that these Biblical quotes have basically the same effect on kids as in the two books that were removed back in December. “There is a message from this much like there was a message in The Bluest Eye and in Push about how to overcome these adverse scenarios that too many people are exposed to,” he said.

Really? Let’s look at excerpts from those two books:

1. Push, by Sapphire. The book involves a lot of explicit sex and includes incest, rape, nudity, drug use, violence, excessive profanity, self-harm, and racism.  Some sample text:

She look at me like I said I wanna suck a dog's dick or some shit ... A girl have her father's dick in her mouth know things the other girls don't know … I was raped by my father. And beat … It started when I was, oh, about four or five years old with him fondling me … By the time I was twelve he was having intercourse with me three or four times a week. (See more here.)

2. The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison
The book contains depictions of rape, molestation, explicit sex, alcohol abuse, racism, and anti-religious rants. Some sample text:

A bolt of desire ran down his genitals, giving it length, and softening the lips of his anus. … He wanted to fuck her … the gigantic thrust he made into her then provoked the only sound she made—a hollow suck of air in the back of her throat … The little girls are the only things I'll miss ... I touched their sturdy little tits and bit them. (See more here.)

He tried to make it seem as though outright, explicit depictions of pornography in the two other books were on the same level as Biblical narrative. Granted, the Bible does retell that the daughters of Lot slept with their father to get pregnant, but the details of those acts are not described. Pornography, like the passages in The Bluest Eye and Push, provides explicit and salacious descriptions of sexual contact, which no child should read.

ALT TEXT The leftist who filed the Bible challenge yells outside of a school committee meeting (left) and presents his anti-Bible testimony at the April 14 meeting (right). Note the "Protect Trans Youth" sticker on his shirt.

He finished his testimony by saying that if they aren’t going to remove the Bible, there should be no book policy at all. In his opinion, the pornography in all three books is basically the same. This is not surprising; it is how leftists think about what children should read.

The rest of the testimony

Our preparation paid off. There were 24 pro-family people who testified against removing the Bible. Their testimony was strong, passionate, and well thought out. It overpowered any possible arguments in favor. A few of them called out some of the leftists by name and castigated them directly for their stupid stunt.

As one local resident said, the Bible lays a foundation for righteousness for the community. The other books are about normalizing destructive behaviors in the minds of children.

Six of the leftist contingent testified. But they were clearly overwhelmed by the pro-Bible outpouring. They didn’t attempt to make a case for the Bible’s removal. Instead, they just tried to equate the Bible with Push and The Bluest Eye. They argued that because of that controversy there shouldn’t be a book policy at all.

The school board’s vote

Before the vote, the five board members had a 12-minute discussion about it. The three conservatives stood their ground supporting the Bible’s timeless value for everyone. The board’s two leftists were clearly flailing. They insisted that it all shows that the book policy must go. One of the leftist members, Melissa Ayala-Quintero, suggested restricting the Bible for certain age groups because of subjects like rape, genocide, misogyny, etc. But board member Michelle Rendler reminded her that this is only about “sexually explicit material.”

ALT TEXT The school board discusses the Bible ban before their vote.

Then board member Candy Olson made a motion to keep the Bible – and to expand it from high school to all grade levels. It was like a line in the sand. The vote was 5-0 in favor. Clearly, nobody wanted the negative PR for voting to remove the Bible!

It was a great win – crushing the leftists again!

Final thoughts

First, there should be no need for such a book removal policy. There should be normal people working in our schools who would never allow explicit materials to be brought in.

And second, we cannot reiterate enough how vile these leftist activists are. They come to school committee meetings each month to oppose any barrier against pushing horrible pornography on other people’s children. Note that the fellow who brought the challenge to remove the Bible admits to being a substitute teacher. That should sound an alarm for all of us!

RNC Statement on Supreme Court Striking Down Louisiana Democrat Gerrymandering



 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais:


“This decision is a win for fairness, the rule of law, and anyone who opposes racial gerrymandering,” said RNC Chairman Gruters. “The American people don’t want to see Americans segregated by race in their congressional maps, which is exactly what was happening in Louisiana. Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a basic constitutional principle: the government cannot discriminate on the basis of race when drawing congressional maps.”

Indivisible Alameda is PANICKING! Call to Action to Force Single-Digits Dems to Drop Out


 

Well, this is good news!

The Indivisible chapter of Alameda County is sounding the alarm.

The members are terrified that two Republicans will make it into the Top Two general election for governor of California!

They have started rallying activists across the state to slam the single-digit candidates to drop out and allow the Democratic votes to coalesce around one strong Democratic candidate!

Uninspiring Flyer from George Chen Campaign (Election 2026)

 



I don't know who is running George Chen's campaign, but these kinds of mailers are not very inspiring.

Or interesting.

I hear all this talk about international outreach and partnerships.

I see some business leaders, and I see some business connections.

A Taiwan semiconductor company takes a photo with the mayor. Did he set up a major business here? I am not sure, because the mailer is not clear about it.

The Taiwanese National Olympic Committee has chosen Torrance as its home base for the 2028 Olympics. That's great, I guess. But is that all?

I see some famous Dodgers baseball players getting celebrated. OK, and how does that help the city?

Yes, I am aware of the largest Dodgers mural in the world.




Would someone tell me why this is important, though?

Has this brought any money to the city? 

All of this looks more like a joy ride for some elected officials, but where is the service for the city? How does this help everyday constituents like me?

I don't even care about baseball! I am sure that I am not only in my uninterest.

What about fighting crime? Is the cost of living improving?

Has there been any discussion about lowering taxes in the city?

What about restoring the Armed Forces Day parade?

There are plenty of issues that I am certain Mayor George Chen could brag about.

This isn't it.

Tom Steyer Campaign Flyers to High Propensity REPUBLICAN Voter

Tom Steyer has too much time and money on his hands.

He sent me two major campaign flyers in the last three weeks.

Does this guy really think Republicans are going to give him a chance?

Clearly, he's just spreading his money around and bombing mailboxes all over Los Angeles County.

High propensity voters? Every vote?

Who knows. Who cares?

Here's a rundown breakdown on what Steyer is telling the voters:

Honoré de Balzac's Intense Writing Regime

 



Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) is renowned for having one of the most intense, demanding, and almost superhuman writing routines in literary history. Motivated by enormous literary ambition and crushing debt, he produced the massive collection of novels known as La Comédie Humaine (The Human Comedy) through what he called "orgies of work".
His habits were characterized by a nocturnal schedule, immense coffee consumption, and meticulous revision.
The Daily Routine
Balzac’s schedule was designed to maximize output, often requiring him to become a temporary recluse:
  • Nocturnal Hours: He typically went to bed at 6:00 or 7:00 PM and woke up around 1:00 AM.
  • Intense Morning Session: He wrote for roughly seven hours straight, from 1:00 AM until 8:00 AM.
  • Short Break: At 8:00 AM, he allowed himself a 90-minute nap.
  • Afternoon Session: From 9:30 AM until 4:00 PM, he worked again, often correcting proofs or writing further.
  • Socializing and Sleep: Later in the afternoon, he would take a bath, receive visitors, and eat a light meal before going to bed early to start the cycle again.
  • Total Output: This schedule allowed him to write for 15+ hours a day for weeks or months at a time.
Coffee and Stimulants
To maintain this pace, Balzac was famously dependent on strong coffee.
  • Extreme Consumption: He is estimated to have drank as many as 50 to 300 cups of coffee a day.
  • Method: He drank it black and often on an empty stomach to keep his mind sharp. He often prepared a special Turkish blend.
  • "Coffee Wanted a Victim": He recognized the danger of his dependency, saying that "if it were not for coffee, one could not write, which is to say one could not live".
The Writing Process
Balzac’s method of writing was as chaotic as it was disciplined:
  • "White Monkish Robe": He often wore a white, monastic-style gown (a robe de chambre) while writing, styled after a monk, which helped him focus.
  • Methodical Revisions: While he wrote quickly, he was a publisher's nightmare. He would make extensive revisions on proof sheets, rewriting almost his entire manuscript in the margins, sometimes requiring 30 or more drafts.
  • Visualizing the Work: He often spoke of his characters as if they were real people, constantly updating the connections between them across his various novels.
Motivation and Physical Toll
  • Financial Pressures: Balzac was constantly hounded by creditors due to failed business ventures, forcing him to write to keep himself out of debtor's prison.
  • Health Issues: The "brutal" routine, as he called it, took a severe toll on his health. He suffered from heart problems, stomach cramps, and headaches, and it is widely believed his intense workload and extreme caffeine consumption led to his death at age 51.

Torrance Mayor's Race: The Pride Problem

 The election for Torrance mayor is a little more than a month away.

I have friends who have commented about the election for the last six months.

Of course, we all knew at least a year ago that Councilwoman Sharon Kalani was going to throw her hat in the ring.

She was prompted to do so by many liberal elements in the city. Recently, she's been hanging out with former Mayor Pat Furey, and she also went to an event with Congressman Ted Lieu and his wife, school board trustee Betty Lieu (who is also running for city council, to replace termed out Councilman Aurelio Mattucci).

For the longest time, I was grudgingly prepared to vote for Mayor George Chen. I have always been grateful that he took a stand against the stupid, vile Pride Resolution forced on the city by the previous mayor.

However, I have run into a number of problems with this guy, and then there are the growing problems with Sharon Kalani, as well.

It all boils down to one issue: Pride.

Yes, the arrogance that politicians take on once they've been in office for a set period of time. They start losing touch with the voters. They start pursuing whatever they think is right, or whatever they find expedient.

It's a growing problem in the city of Torrance. Lots of these politicians bend over backwards, trip over themselves, make every plea they can to get your vote. Then, once in office, they blow you off, ignore you, violate your rights, raise your taxes, etc.

I hate to be cynical, but this has to be one of the most disappointing mayoral elections I have seen in the city's history.

So, what is the precise Pride problem with these two mayoral candidates?

Let's start with Sharon Kalani.

She insisted on shoving the Pride Resolution down our throats in 2024, when Mayor George Chen declined to recognize Pride month, starting in 2023. I approved that decision, and I am glad that many residents showed up to the city council meeting in May 2023 to show their support for passing on that perverse commemoration.

Kalani wouldn't let it go, though. She insisted on shoving that awful commemoration on the city. She wanted to force the matter with a motion of concurrence to turn the whole Pride Resolution into an agenda item.

In May 2024, the Torrance City Council wasted an hour on that resolution. The vast majority of residents in the city said that they didn't want it. We have people of all backgrounds speaking out against it, but Kalani wanted to look like some wannabe civil rights superheroine, and she insisted.

What a shame. That is pride on two levels. Since when was it ever a good idea to celebrate one of the seven deadly sins? Since when should a city lose its time and focus on this woke LGBT nonsense, all of which causes more harm than good?

In my opinion, Kalani is full of hot air, filled up by the liberal interests in the city that want to virtue-signal more than they want actual virtue. We heard all this hoopla that major businesses would not invest in the city of Torrance if we didn't have a Pride Month resolution. I walk in the Del Amo Fashion  Center nearly every day, and I see new businesses opening up all the time. More investments have come to the city, as well.

People are sick of the woke perversity. But Kalani wants to push this. More voices in the community have told me that part of the reason why she is running for mayor is wounded pride. She was shot down by her colleagues, and she's throwing a fit over it.

Not only that, but she tried to move the Armed Forces Day parade to Zamperini Airport, a terrible location that would all but certainly reduce attendance and basically end the event for the city.

I confronted her about that, and she played victim:

               

She later claimed that I "attacked" her, when I clearly confronted her, which every city has a right to do. It's called the First Amendment.

What kind of politician gets upset when confronted about anything? Someone who has too much pride, who thinks that they don't have to answer to anyone. Notice her weak response, trying to pass the blame onto others. What is this?

And who can forget the warm endorsement she received from Supervisor Janice Hahn, the same elected official who tried to shove the Homekey Project into our city, without our knowledge, feedback, or permission?!

              


This woman is not mayor material.

Now, let's talk about Mayor Chen and his pride problem.

This guy doesn't listen to the grassroots who helped elect him. He has routinely kicked them in the teeth.

He voted against a gun store in Downtown Torrance in late 2022. What is this? That was a legitimate business, like any other. His vote in opposition was cowardice and a brazen disregard for the will of the voters. The local NRA affiliate blasted him over this and began to second-guess their support for him. Most of the people protesting the store didn't live in the city.

He has routinely and repeatedly limited our public comment in city council meetings. This is intolerable. The arrogance of this mayor, thinking that we can get our points across in one minute, and starting recently two minutes, is just ridiculous. I blasted him for this at an April 2026 meeting:

                 

In fact, I have complained about his unjust restraint of our public comment many times.

And there has been no movement to correct this. The Black Lives Matter protests have long left the city council chambers. There is no reason to circumvent their abusive tactics any longer. In short, he has no reason to cut us off.

And it's even worse before the several commissions. The Torrance Planning Commission only allows public comment or agenda comment for ONE MINUTE, and it has not changed! That's George's fault! Planning issues are very important to the city. People are trying to save their homes, save an open view of the bay which they paid top dollar to enjoy. They want to improve their homes or ready them for sale, and how does the mayor treat them? Shut down their complaints and concerns.

There is no excuse for this.

If Mayor Chen doesn't want to listen to his constituents for the traditionally allotted three minutes, then he needs to find something else to do with this time. What's worse, he has given Sharon Kalani a very easy campaign issue. Imagine being so proud, that you would ruin your own re-election chances rather than admit that you have made a mistake?

I was also displeased with his arrogant, dismissive answer when I confronted him about championing red light cameras for automated ticketing in the city of Torrance. Yes, there are traffick scofflaws in the city of Torrance. Yes, the city law enforcement body should take every step necessary to enforce traffic laws and keep everyone safe.

However, automated ticketing is wrong!

Chen first made the pitch to bring in those unconstitutional cameras at Coast Christian Center during a campaign event:


And here's his non-answer to me at a public meeting in a local coffee shop:


             

There is no excuse for this kind of dismissinve non-chalance. With all due respect to prospective voters, his attitude reminded me of the arrogance many voters have experienced from former Councilman Mike Griffiths and even Sharon Kalani (see above).

Last of all, I worked hard to get this guy elected. And when there was a vote to determine who should replace him on the city council, I had submitted my application for the position. I had a prior conviction from my activism in Huntington Park, CA, but the law firm which had assisted me informed me that I did not have to reveal the conviction.

They were wrong, and the city attorney directed the city council to disqualify me. Mayor Chen just threw me away like I was nothing. I confronted him about this two years later, when the dust had settled, and he gave me a non-answer, a lame excuse.

No apology.

There was one city councilwoman who offered an apology: Bridgett Lewis. I am so grateful for her support.
