California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Monday to ban school boards from rejecting textbooks based on their teachings about the contributions of people from different racial backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities.
“From Temecula to Tallahassee, fringe ideologues across the country are attempting to whitewash history and ban books from schools,” Newsom said in a statement. “With this new law, we’re cementing California’s role as the true freedom state: a place where families - not political fanatics - have the freedom to decide what’s right for them.”The topic of banning and censoring books has become a U.S. political flashpoint, cropping up in statesaround the country.
A 2011 state law requires schools to teach students about the historical contributions of gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. The new legislation bars school boards from banning instructional materials or library books because they provide “ inclusive and diverse perspectives in compliance with state law,” according to a press release from Newsom’s office.
