The Capistrano Unified School District—the largest in Orange County, California, serving 14 cities and unincorporated areas—is adopting a history and social studies curriculum for kindergarten and elementary school students that includes “inclusive” material in order to comply with state education laws.
The state’s Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful (FAIR) Education Act, passed in 2012, requires schools to include historical contributions by people with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community in their history and social studies curriculum.
