Somebody is going to challenge it. Until then, Cali schools will have to schedule carefully. Id also schedule a crap load of games now before other states get on the list.

Its not a religious ban. It simply states that California's taxpayers will not enter into contracts that will involve travel to states where certain people face discrimination.

I think this one holds up. Basically the alternative is to say...Alabama can mandate or allow discrimination and California must use taxpayer funds to send its own citizens there to face that discrimination. And that its taxpayer owned institutions must contract to send its citizens where they will face discrimination.

And I'd imagine that the Circuit Court that gets the case will be the liberal circuit out West

Its already in effect btw. At least for Texas.

Dont know about all of them, but I think some of the objectionable laws are based on free exercise of religion. FWIW---I have a feeling the Texas law Cali has an issue with is going to get overturned by the courts. I dont see how its going to survive a challenge---which hopefully will get Texas off that ban list. Otherwise, it could definitely affect scheduling in the future.
