The culture wars debate over diversity, equity and inclusion education has come to Southern California school districts.
Governor Gavin Newsom has said that he has secured a contract that will deliver those textbooks to Temecula classrooms before their first day of school on Aug. 14. He says he will also send the school district the bill for those books and a $1.5 million fine for not following the state's requirements to have,"inclusive and diverse perspectives" in their curriculum.
The Governor says he is pursuing legislation with the State of California's Superintendent of Public Instruction to sue school districts that are out of compliance with the state rules. That idea has been met with heavy criticism from educators who believe that school boards should retain some local control over what is taught in their classrooms.
NBC 7 reached out to Dr. Joseph Komrosky, President of the Board of Education in Temecula, read his full statement below: I speak personally here and not on behalf of the entire TVUSD Board when I say, the Temecula Valley Unified School District is not done with its work on curriculum for the 2023-2024 school year. We continue to engage our parents and work diligently towards finding the right solution for our community, and every day we make progress towards that goal. We still have the time to continue this critical process and meet all state and federal mandates before the next school year begins.
Despite our continuing work and commitment to core values, Governor Newsom has taken unilateral action to intervene in the middle of our work without even contacting the school district first to understand what the school district may be further doing to meet all of the curriculum needs of our students. What he calls inaction we see as responsible considerations for all of our community’s viewpoints as we come to a final decision and with time left to do so.
