If the bill passes in this upcoming week schools in California will have to start teaching about, Black history, Womens History and Homosexual history. it could b the first in the contry to mandate that public schools have to teach about gay history. The bill does no give many requirments, just that the contrabution of gay and lesbian people in the United States. The bill is intended to prevent bullying of gay and lesbian students and is also intended to stop stereotypes and hatred that some kids hold for gay and lesbian people.
I think that this is a great idea. I think that it will slowly help the bullying of gay students. I also fell like it greatly help reduc the number of sucides committed by gay and lesbian teenagers, gay and lesbian kids are three times as likely to commite suicide then the average person. I think that once people are more educated about homsexuailty they will be less hostile towards gay people. I hope this bill gets passed and more states fallow this example
