"Newsom Imposes $1.5 Million Fine on School District for Curriculum Rejection"
California Governor Gavin Newsom has fined the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) $1.5 million for rejecting state-endorsed textbooks that mention gay rights activist Harvey Milk. Newsom accused the conservative board members of breaking the law and subverting the will of parents. The fine will cover the cost of shipping the materials to the district. Despite Newsom's threats, the board members stuck to their decision to reject the content. Critics argue that sex and homosexuality should not be taught in elementary school materials, while supporters emphasize the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in education.
