The news has been spreading throughout the city that Councilwoman Sharon Kalani’s perverse attempt to push “Pride Month” in the city of Torrance failed this year.
The usual left-wing and progressive agitators are complaining online, but other Torrance community groups on Facebook are generally pleased.
I didn’t have the chance over the last year to sound off another deep concern regarding the whole “Pride Month” push.
Last year, when the city council narrowly adopted the troublesome, unwanted resolution, Jean Adelsman targeted Councilman Mattucci (once again) over his outspoken outrage about the resolution.
Here are his full remarks from the May 7, 2024, Torrance City Council meeting on the “pride” resolution:
Here are Adelsman’s first statements on Mattucci’s “rant”:
- Mattucci and Sheikh were the evening’s disappointments. Several people called Mattucci’s comments a disgrace – Susan Niemeyer referred to it as a rant in her FaceBook post on the meeting.
Who is Susan Niemeyer?
When Chen called on Kalani immediately after Mattucci unleashed his wrath, she was clearly shaken and said, “What can you say after that?”
More people should be as upset as Mattucci was. More on that later. If Councilwoman was Kalani was “clearly shaken” by some strong statements from one of her colleagues, then she is not mayor material.
In the next newsletter, she obsessed over Mattucci’s comments further:
A number of readers expressed concern over the subject of Mattucci’s recent rant. If you missed that newsletter, go to www.TakeBackTorrance.com and look at Newsletter No. 50.
He was focused on a survey that he said had asked his 10-year-old son questions of a sexual nature. I didn’t originally raise it because, as District 4’s Sharon Kalani pointed out, Torrance Unified School District has jurisdiction here and the City Council has no role. In other words, Mattucci’s comments were inappropriate.
Every adult should be outraged–not just concerned–about school districts giving students sexually explicit or charged surveys. EVERYONE!
As it turns out, he also misspoke. After being prodded by readers, I researched the issue, and thanks to my TUSD source who steered me to the information I was looking for.
Mattucci was referring to the California Healthy Kids Survey, which is a project of the California Department of Education. The survey’s goal: “Helping schools and communities build positive environments for student success.”
How does asking children if they are non-binary or gay contribute to a positive school environment? Why are adults so determined to push these awful themes on children? Why is pushing destructive behaviors on children “Acceptable”?
Its website adds, “At the heart of the CHKS is a research-based core module that provides valid indicators to promote student engagement and achievement, safety, positive development, health, and overall well-being.” The site also said it is “the largest statewide student survey of resiliency, protective factors, risk behaviors, and school climate in the nation.”
Notice how she did not list the specific, invasive questions that the survey poses to California students. I wonder why she left that out?
Most of California’s school districts participate, and the information is also used by a variety of non-academic agencies. For example, the Volunteer Center, whose board I serve on, uses information from it to improve its youth programs, in particular the Impact Makers (more on that later). As does the Beach Cities Health District’s Allcove program for teens.
Mattucci repeatedly said his 10-year-old son received the questionnaire. The problem: TUSD administers the survey to sixth-graders, which rarely includes a 10-year-old. So, his son was not 10 when he took the survey.

Notice how Jean Adelsman, and LGBT propagandists in general, do not care about the well-being of children. Notice how they don’t take notice, or even break a sweat, over the contents of these abusive materials being pushed on children.
The only thing that Jean cared about was that Aurelio supposedly got his dates mixed up when he mentioned the survey. Earlier this month, he corrected the record yet again and said that indeed, his son did receive the survey according to the times he had mentioned last year. He made no mistake.
Why are liberals so deteremined to push LGBT on kids?
Why are progressives so adamant about celebrating sexual degeneracy as a civil right?
Why do some of these Torrance residents think that the “Balanced City” should start picking identity groups to promote against everyoe else? Why do they want to turn Torrance into West Hollywood of San Francisco?
