California Schools and Textbook Bans
We have all heard about the banning of certain textbooks by radicalized groups in Florida, thereby preventing students to get a good inclusive education. This issue is no longer just in Florida but right here in our backyard at the Temecula Schools. However, lucky for our students, Governor Newsom has announced that the State of California will begin the process of securing textbooks for students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District and enact legislation to fine school districts for failure to provide adequate instructional materials. We can no longer ignore what is going on in our schools.
Francine Busby, former President of the Cardiff Education Foundation and School Board Trustee and Chair of the San Diego Democratic Party will speak on why all of us, inspite of the fact that we may not have school-going children, should be engaged in this issue.
Michele Tsutagawa Ward, Carlsbad School Board Trustee Area 1, will speak on the challenges facing the Carlsbad School Board.
Thanks to all the
volunteers who manned our booth at the fair. And thanks to all of you who stopped by.
