California will purchase and deliver copies of a social studies textbook to students in a local school district after district officials blocked the book because of “inappropriate” content, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The Temecula Valley Unified School board in southern California first gained the governor’s attention in May when it rejected a social studies textbook containing references to LGBT activist and politician Harvey Milk—whom the board’s president Joseph Komrosky called a “pedophile” based on reports that Mr. Milk had a sexual relationship with a minor.
