The Temecula Valley Unified School District board voted 3 to 2 on May 16 to oppose adopting a new social studies curriculum for the district's 18 elementary schools.
Temecula Valley Unified School District elementary schools may not have enough social studies textbooks for the upcoming school year after a majority of the school board voted to oppose a new curriculum because it mentions slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
Board members Jennifer Wiersma, Danny Gonzalez and Joseph Komrosky voted against the curriculum while board members Steven Schwartz and Allison Barclay voted in favor. Gonzalez and Komrosky voiced concerns about the inclusion of Milk in the curriculum and Wiersma opposed the mention of the LGBTQ+ community.Milk, a pioneering gay activist, was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.
Without the approval of the new curriculum, the district will be short of the books needed for students. That could run afoul of a California law that states there must be enough instructional materials, such as textbooks, for every student. Before the curriculum was proposed to the school board, 47 teachers from the 18 elementary schools piloted the textbooks during the past school year. From September through November, the teachers piloted TCI textbooks in their classrooms and from November to February, the teachers piloted Studies Weekly textbooks. After the pilot, the teachers recommended Studies Weekly for TK and K grades and TCI for first- through fifth-graders.
