"Two bills opposed by Equality California failed in the Assembly Education Committee, safeguarding existing protections for California students. The measures would have stripped away important civil rights protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Members of the Assembly Education Committee rejected both Assembly Bill 2085 and Assembly Bill 2086 with a 6-3 vote along party lines. Every Republican Assemblymember on the committee voted to repeal student protections. The six votes against the bills came from Democrats."
