A California school district received a hefty fine after rejecting a new state-endorsed social studies curriculum which includes a textbook containing references to LGBT activist and politician Harvey Milk.

The Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) will be fined $1.5 million after the school board voted 3–2 on July 18 against adopting the state’s elementary school curriculum and the textbook “Social Studies Alive!” for a second time.
