Conservative trustee calls the slain gay rights leader “a pedophile;” officials say he is cited only in the textbook’s supporting materials.
Temecula’s conservative school board majority has blocked a history textbook because its supporting materials mention slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk.In response, the Temecula teachers union staged a rally and plans another before the next Temecula Valley school board meeting Tuesday, June 13.
Milk was one of the first openly gay candidates elected to public office. While serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978, a former political colleague shot him and Mayor George Moscone to death at City Hall.three conservatives elected in November to Temecula’s school boardAfter Komrosky’s words, members of the audience could be heard reacting in surprise. Barclay said Milk was not a “pedophile.
“That’s the most disgusting claim we’ve heard in the last few months and they should be ashamed,” Reyes Salinas said. “We followed the board policy,” Barclay said. “We had 47 teachers, we had 1,300 parents who had the curriculum in their household and so I fail to see why we should not approve this. There are a lot of issues that we discussed, the cost of redoing the entire thing, there are only a certain number of curriculum we can even choose from and the panel looked at several that it saw would not fit the community. I feel like our teachers chose a really great curriculum from our understanding.
District officials are “not looking at changes with the publisher,” because the book is approved by the state and complies with the FAIR act, which prohibits teachers or school districts from activity that promotes discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality, disability or sexual orientation.
