California Gov. Newsom announces a $1.5M fine against the Temecula Valley Unified School District less than a day after conservative board members voted to reject state-endorsed curriculum that includes a short biography of gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
On top of the fine, the district will have to pay the $1.6 million shipping costs associated with sending the materials to the district, which he previously vowed to do if the board did not approve the material.
Board member Allison Barclay said that"it is devastating to receive news of a fine of this magnitude." “California will ensure students in Temecula begin the school year with access to materials reviewed by parents and recommended by teachers across the district,” he added. Opponents countered that Milk was an important California figure and a champion of underrepresented communities whose legacy is worthy of being taught in schools.
