San Francisco and Santa Clara counties are suing the Trump administration over new grant conditions, winning a temporary restraining order. Meanwhile, the California Appeals Court halted Temecula Valley Unified School District's ban on Critical Race Theory, deeming it unconstitutionally vague. Justice Kathleen O'Leary emphasized the importance of students' rights to learn about racial history. Additionally, concerns about a controversial $20 billion tunnel project to transport Northern California water have arisen, with lawmakers and environmentalists opposing it, arguing it prioritizes agricultural interests and poses environmental risks over local voices and needs.
"The court's decision makes very clear that California courts also do not stand for ideological censorship, especially censorship that restricts students' right to learn key moments in the history of racial inequity in this country."
"Members of the Legislature's Delta Caucus stated that the project will cost more than $20 billion, and Californians will ultimately foot a mounting bill because of inflation and tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump."
