Great news!
And remember, California is chock full of PC liberals, New Agers, aging hippies, and religious cults of all stripes INCLUDING Hindutva types (I'm speaking as a long time Calif resident, y'all understand).... so if THIS state can use logic & keep religious extremism out of public education, anyplace can. Even Kansas, if it tries hard.
