Governor Newsom Issues Statement on Temecula Textbooks
Statement
Issues: Education
"Fortunately, now students will receive the basic materials needed to learn.
"But this vote lays bare the true motives of those who opposed this curriculum. This has never been about parents' rights. It's not even about Harvey Milk -- who appears nowhere in the textbook students receive. This is about extremists' desire to control information and censor the materials used to teach our children.
"Demagogues who whitewash history, censor books, and perpetuate prejudice never succeed. Hate doesn't belong in our classrooms and because of the board majority's antics, Temecula has a civil rights investigation to answer for."
