Geee Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 PJ Media: On Thursday, the California State Board of Education voted to approve lessons for elementary, middle and high school students that recognize the contributions of minorities including “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans." According to a press release by the California Department of Education, the framework is meant to provide "guidance" to teachers, administrators, and publishers for history and social science instruction. "It includes more than 20 detailed classroom examples that show teachers how they can integrate their instruction to build students' history–social science knowledge and skills, literacy skills, and English language development." "This is a big win for our students," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. "This document will improve the teaching and learning of history and social science. It will give our students access to the latest historical research and help them learn about the diversity of our state and the contributions of people and groups who may not have received the appropriate recognition in the past."
