California approves 900-page Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum
Fox News
The California State Board of Education on Thursday approved the nation’s first statewide ethnic studies curriculum for high schools, saying the teaching of discrimination and oppression has never been more important.
Educators and civil rights leaders who spoke at the meeting mourned this week’s killing of eight people, most of them Asian women, in Georgia, as the latest tragic example of racism but also a poignant reminder that education is an essential strategy to combating hate. "We are reminded daily that racism is not only a legacy of the past but a clear and present danger," said Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond, who led President Joe Biden’s education transition team. "We must understand this history if we are finally to end it."More Related News
