Temecula Valley school board adopts textbooks that include Harvey Milk after warnings from Newsom

According to a statement issued by President Dr. Joseph Komrosky, the meeting will focus on "the potential adoption of curriculum that meets all state and federal mandates."The Temecula Valley school board on Friday adopted a social studies curriculum that includes slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk. The curriculum had been approved by parents and teachers after initially rejecting it.

The curriculum in question is titled "California's Cultural Contributions," board member Allison Barclay of the Temecula Valley Unified School District told CNN. The board voted 3-2 on May 16 to reject the curriculum, with some board members claiming there was not enough parental involvement in the creation process and making comments attacking Milk.Parents at a June public hearing spoke against the rejection of the curriculum, which is for grades 1-5.

Their concern revolves around reports that Milk, when in his 30s, had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
