The Temecula Valley school board has voted 3-2 against the proposed elementary school social studies curriculum due to its inclusion of Harvey Milk. The decision could leave more than 11,000 students without a social studies textbook.
"You're not qualified! You're not qualified!' shouted one audience member at the board.
School board members, Dr. Joseph Komrosky, Jennifer Wiersma and Danny Gonzalez opposed the inclusion of gay rights activist Harvey Milk in the supplemental material used by teachers, even though Milk is not in theMilk, who was one of the first opening gay elected officials in the country, was assassinated while serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
The social studies curriculum was vetted by 47 Temecula Valley teachers who taught the material in 18 elementary schools as part of a pilot program this past year. The material, which is also approved by the California Department of Education, will replace outdated textbooks. "Parents didn't respond. Whose fault is it that parents didn't respond? It's their fault. Not our fault and not the teacher's fault," said School Board Member Steven Schwartz.
