Newsom signs controversial bill requiring ethnic studies for all CA students to graduate

Gov. Gavin Newsom signs AB 101, requiring all high school students to take ethnic studies to graduate starting with the class of 2030. The model curriculum designed by the state was the subject of controversy for years.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law making California the first state to make ethnic studies a requirement for high school graduation.

Gavin Newsom has signed a bill to make CRT a high school graduation requirement, two years after saying the draft ethnic studies curriculum would “never see the light of day.”

What people are saying?

asw What high schools really need is a class to teach about mortgages, jobs and such. My high school years ago had it as an elective and it definitely helped me in the long run.

Malinche Latin(x) Chicano, Astlan, Cesar Chavez, Dia de Los Muertos. You just passed Chicano studies by reading this tweet. And the Dreamers will come to your class and beg you to let them graduate college for free instead of you.

AnyMoose Bloop  Yay! Lets make it harder to graduate or apply for college by adding social education requirements to fundamentals. What does this fix?
