Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) was unexpectedly removed from California’s Education Committee after serving as vice chair for five years.
Article by Vanessa Serna from our premium news partners at The Epoch Times.
Since joining the legislature, Kiley served on the committee that reviews all education legislation before it receives a full vote by the state Assembly.
Kiley, who has spoken out against state-wide mandates in K–12 schools regarding COVID-19 and critical race theory (CRT), was taken by surprise when he received the announcement on Dec. 27.
State Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon removed Kiley with “no official reason given” to him, Kiley told The Epoch Times.
“Without any notification or any warning, I was taken off this committee that I’ve been on for all my five years in the legislature.”
However, a spokesperson from Rendon’s office claimed his removal was not targeted.
“The Speaker makes regular changes to the makeup of Assembly committees,” spokeswoman Katie Talbot told The Epoch Times in an email. “This change was one of more than 20 changes made to committees that day – none of which were retaliatory.”

Still, the Assemblyman speculates his tendency to speak out against education throughout the state is the cause of his removal.
“I’ve been an outspoken critic of the corrupt education policies of Gavin Newsom in our legislature,” Kiley said. “I’ve taken a long-standing critic of the failure to serve our students.”
During his time on the education committee, Kiley advocated and attempted to introduce legislation to open schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“All of that did not go over well with the leaders of the legislator and the governor,” Kiley said.
Kiley also pushed for school choice and made efforts to put the needs of students first, he said.
“I have actively questioned authors who bring bills to our committee that are not in the interest of students,” Kiley said. “I made them justify their bills. I asked them tough questions.”
With Kiley being off the committee, he said he fears questionable education legislation will be passed without a second thought.
Although Kiley’s time as vice chair has come to an end, he said he anticipates using his position as a member of the legislature to continue to speak out against the K–12 CRT curriculum, COVID-19 mandates, sexual education curriculum, and potential attempts to close schools again.

“This attempted retaliation is only going to make me more vocal in trying to get our state on the right course,” Kiley said.
Assemblywoman Megan Dahle (R-Bieber)of California’s first district, serving a portion of Northern California counties, has assumed the role of vice chair of the Education Committee.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
