A California school district has reversed its decision to teach LGBT curriculum that involves gay rights activist Harvey Milk after Gov. GavinNewsom proposed fines if the education endorsed by the state was not implemented.
Temecula Valley Unified School District, a conservative board in the blue state, struck down the curriculum in May, followed by parents voicing disagreements with the board's decision during a June meeting. The district voted 3-2 to reject the curriculum again on Tuesday before passing it Friday.On Wednesday, Newsom announced he would fine the school district $1.
Concerned members of Temecula point to the textbook, including the teachings of Milk, who was the first openly gay elected official in the history of California when he was voted on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk reportedly had a relationship with a minor when he was in his 30s.
