A bill that would require all California State University students to complete an ethnic studies course to graduate overwhelmingly passed the state Senate on June 18.
The bill, Assembly Bill 1460 (AB 1460), passed by a 30 to 5 vote. If the bill becomes law, it would make California the first state in the nation to require students to complete an ethnic studies course in order to graduate, says Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego).
