Hundreds of teachers in the Temecula Valley Unified School District continue to protest over the board's decision to block a curriculum that mentioned gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
The Temecula Valley school board in California voted to fire the district's superintendent, Jodi McClay, as hundreds of teachers continue to protest the board's decision to block a curriculum that mentioned gay rights leader Harvey Milk.Many of the teachers said they're upset with the board's recent decision to not approve a social sciences textbook for elementary school students because of material some board members found objectionable.
The decision not to include the book now puts the district in potential violation of the Williams Act, which requires all students to have equal access to proper instructional materials. Some parents who spoke at Tuesday's meeting expressed their support for the board's decision. But others point out that nowhere in the supplemental material does it discuss Milk's relationship at all, saying the board's actions are only adding to tensions in the community.
