- A picture book for second graders about a family with two moms. A lesson for fourth graders about Gold Rush era stagecoach driver Charley Parkhurst, who was born a woman but lived as a man.
At the forefront is California where the curriculum became law in 2011. New Jersey became the second state in January, limiting its mandate to middle- and high-school students. “It’s a very different story that’s being told than the one, as minorities, we live every single day,” said Buentello, a public school teacher in Pueblo, Colorado.In California, eight years after the mandate was signed into law, known as the FAIR Education Act, many teachers are just beginning to incorporate LGBTQ history into their classrooms.
Despite these inroads, the Golden State is still grappling with making sure all public school students learn LGBTQ history. One challenge has been instructing teachers, who may have never learned LGBTQ history themselves. In the San Juan Unified School District just outside California’s capital, parents spoke for hours at heated school board meetings before the district voted in April on which textbooks to approve for the 2019-2020 school year.
Stick to math and science
I going to enjoy all the butt hurt from all the homophobes on this one.
LGBTQ material is fine in health class, but in history? There's already too much to cover in history classes with not enough time to go over it as it is. If we give every 'marginalized' group a spot in history class, we'll leave out key events in history, and color it with bias
The comments under this are abhorrent
To achieve what? Spread Serious mental disorder? Or how defying nature can be beneficial to discover. Thank goodness not every human is sick.
Why do young children need to learn about sexual orientation? That should be for high school aged kids.
matthewschmitz I hope it starts with Sodom and Gomorrah.
How can you teach a self diagnosed human condition as a biological fact? No doctor with a medicine degree can diagnose you as LGBT. So no school should be teaching it.
Purly demonic. There is nobreason other than indoctrination. Pure Evil!
Yeah because mostly, the sex lives of the founding fathers is super relevant.
They can't even teach US history.
Why?
How about we teach kids things like how to write their name, how to spell, what 2+2 equals, etc. The fundamental blocks of learning before we force LGBTQ down their throats. I'm very suspicious of those that want to sexualize kids under the guise of 'inclusivity'
What's up with the one eyed guy.
Then it’s only fair that we teach the history of heroin addicts and how they sell themselves for dope, oh ,and the history of kiddie porn, and the history of Furry creep, or how people are farmed
...Why?
Stay away from my kids
Left indoctrination
