"California School District Embraces LGBTQ+ Curriculum in Surprising Turnaround"

The Temecula Valley unified school district in southern California has reversed its decision and adopted the state's new social studies book and curriculum, which includes references to LGBTQ+ figures in history. The decision was welcomed by Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticized the previous rejection as an attempt to "whitewash history." The school board, however, stated that it would strike out any mention of Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist and politician. The controversy reflects a broader trend of book bans and attacks on LGBTQ+ rights in schools across the US.
