San Diego Unified Board of Education unanimously voted to back a senate bill posed to take aim at companies providing service for President Donald Trump's controversial border ball.
The room was packed with parents and employees for the board meeting Tuesday night.
Sen. Ricardo Lara's (D-33rd District) proposed Senate Bill 30 was part of a long list of things on the agenda.
In a 5-0 vote, the board moved forward with their support of the bill.
But the move sparked some debate among those who opposed the bill.
"The goal is to embarrass the president and that is wrong," one man told the board members, amid cheers and applause.
The bill would prohibit California from working with or renewing contracts with those providing any sort of services to the Federal Government for construction of the border wall. It would also require any federally funded project costing more than $1 billion along the Southern border that causes harm to endangered species to be approved by a majority of voters in a statewide general election.
If the bill is passed, it would go into affect on Jan. 1, 2018.
