Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed into law Friday afternoon a bill requiring students to take ethnic studies classes in order to graduate.
One of the bill's authors, Democrat Assemblymember Jose Medina, says the bill is necessary in public schools.
"The inclusion of ethnic studies in the high school curriculum is long overdue," Medina said. "Students cannot have a full understanding of the history of our state and nation without the inclusion of the contributions and struggles of Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans."
According to Cal Matters, specific lessons provided in a sample of the curriculum include, "Migration Stories and Oral History," "#BlackLivesMatter and Social Change," "Afrofuturism: Reimagining Black Futures and Science Fiction," "US Undocumented Immigrants from Mexico and Beyond," "The Immigration Experience of Lao Americans" and "This is Indian Land: The Purpose, Politics, and Practice of Land Acknowledgment."
