FAIR Education Act

Inspired by our discussion in class today, I did a little bit of reading about California's FAIR Education Act.  Here's a relatively recent (July 2016) article about the framework that has been developed for its implementation, with quotes from CMC alum Don Romesburg:

And here's a link to the FAIR Education Act website:

I did a little poking around and found it interesting to look at some of the lesson plans they have created so far.  But with today's discussion in mind, I wonder how nuanced of a history kids will learn -- the content seemed largely focused on more recent LGBT history (Stonewall, marriage equality, etc.), so I'm not sure it will necessarily dispel the myths about earlier LGBT history that Chauncey described.
