California May Mandate Inclusion of Gay History in Curricula

From April 27th issue: "Public schools in California would be required to incorporate the history of homosexuals into social studies classes if the state Assembly and Governor Jerry Brown embrace a plan approved by the Senate". Advocates are saying that if it was added to the curricula as black history and womens history was that it would help to curb stereotypes of Gay and Lesbians. Opponents are asking...what will be taken out of the curricula in order to add this information in? Although I believe that there needs to be some sort of teaching/learning of acceptance for LGBT, I think maybe one extra class or a small portion on acceptance of human beings in general would be better. Your not losing curriculum but getting the word out.
