Ocean View Board of Trustees Votes Unanimously To Support YES on A & B
Huntington Beach, CA-Tonight, the Ocean View Board of Trustees voted to affirm that public libraries are vital educational resources that support literacy, research, civic engagement, and equitable learning opportunities for community members. Huntington Beach libraries are frequented by Ocean View School District students, families, and educators. Ensuring continued public operation and professional integrity is essential to sustaining access to inclusive, high-quality educational materials and services. Supporting these measures aligns with the District’s mission to foster academic achievement and equitable access to resources. Defending professional decision-making in public education spaces is critical. We believe that we must preserve transparency and community trust in the public management of vital learning institutions. We must protect the availability of diverse perspectives and culturally responsive materials. Therefore, in a unanimous 5-0 vote, Resolution No. 27:2425 (Exhibit A) was passed. The resolution outlines the reasons that our Ocean View School District Board supports the passage of Measure A and Measure B on the June 10, 2025 special election ballot.

HB Councilman Abuses Children with "PORN" signs
Why is the abusive city councilman Chad Williams permitted to hang 300 illegal “PORN” signs all over the City of Huntington Beach? HB City ordinances don’t allow the word to be shown anywhere in HB. Here are some places “PORN” is not allowed according to HB City Ordinances.
1. His own “Parent-Guardian” library review board definitions prohibit “sexual content” including “written text” pertaining to “sexual relations in any form”, i.e. porn, so his “porn” signs would have to be segregated from children in the library.
2. Next, 5.70.100 Sex-Oriented Business Standards of Operation prohibits sexual content being visible from off-premises, so it seems doubtful that you could have the word “porn” in exterior signage.
3. Next, Ordinance 5.24.085 Massage Establishment—Prohibited Conduct says you can’t market/advertise sexual content, so no use of the word “PORN” allowed there.
4. Next, Public newsracks wouldn’t be able to promote “porn” either. General restrictions on sexual signage in the industrial areas where sex-oriented businesses are legal. General definitions at the top of the muni code defining “public nuisance”. “Public nuisance,” for the purposes of this Code, means anything which is injurious to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property by an entire neighborhood.
5. Next, Sex-oriented business running afoul of regulations are generally declared as nuisances, and there too many references to cite.

Huntington Beach City Councilman's Abusive Actions Spark Parents' Outrage
Huntington Beach, CA-The Ocean View School District teachers and staff continue to report to me their concerns about the abusive actions perpetrated against children in Huntington Beach by Councilman Chad Williams. Parents have contacted me around the clock since Monday morning’s “porn” sign fiasco. There has been an eruption of anger all across the city at Councilman Chad Williams. His abject irresponsibility has infuriated residents. He had spread the word “porn” all over to abuse our children. I took to the news to discuss my legally mandated responsibility as a California Mandated Child Abuse Reporter. As a teacher and board member, I am required under CA law, to report to law enforcement. I did so by contacting our Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and asked for an investigation. Chad Williams claims and frankly states the City is shelving pornography, and his allegations must be investigated. His actions in regard to the HB children’s libraries are shameful. We demand action be taken to stop this child abuse.

Vote YES on Measures A and B
Huntington Beach, CA-We know government overreach is unacceptable, and due to the hard work of a grass-roots coalition of library supporters, a citizens-led ballot initiative campaign for collection of signatures in support of measures that 1) Protect parents’ rights and repeal the political appointee library review board and 2) Prevent privatization of the HPBL has come to fruition. Over 16,000+ signatures (representing at least 10% of the registered HB voters) were obtained for each. After the OC Registrar of Voters verified the signatures, the City Council voted to hold a very costly special election in the amount of $1,200,000 on June 10, 2025. They didn’t have to do that, but chose to waste our precious and limited tax dollars in this frivolous manner. Now, Mail-in ballots for Measure A and B will be sent to Huntington Beach voters in mid-May 2025. We encourage all voters to study the issues. We strongly encourage YES votes on Measures A and B to protect parents’ rights and to stop the privatization of our libraries. VOTE YES ON A & B!
