A California legislator recently introduced a bill that would create new requirements for “diversity and inclusiveness” in school textbooks and other materials.
Assembly Bill 1078, introduced Feb. 15 by Assemblymember Corey Jackson (D-Riverside), would prohibit local school boards from banning curriculum, textbooks and instructional material without state approval. It would also prohibit the state’s education board from approving classroom materials that do not reflect “California’s diversity.”
