California To Include Gay History In School Curriculum

The gay, lesbian and transgender community's contributions to US history will be integrated into future California public school curriculum, in line with a law signed Thursday by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown.

"History should be honest. This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books," Governor Brown said in an official statement.

The FAIR Education Act prohibits discriminatory instruction and discriminatory materials from being adopted by the State Board of Education.

It requires "instruction in social sciences to include a study of the role and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other cultural groups, to the development of California and the United States."

"Denying LGBT people their rightful place in history gives our young people an inaccurate and incomplete view of the world around them," he said.
