Opinion
WERDEGAR, J.
This case requires us to address various constitutional challenges to Penal Code sections 422.6 and 422.7, two of California’s “hate crime” statutes.1 The juvenile court found that M.S. and A.G., the minors, violated section 422.6 by their actions in the course of a melee early one morning in the Castro District of San Francisco and further found true *707allegations under section 422.7. The Court of Appeal rejected the minors’ challenges to the constitutionality of sections 422.6 and 422.7. We likewise conclude the statutes are constitutionally valid.
