The secretary of state's office today (Thursday, January 26) cleared a proposal to repeal Senate Bill 48 for circulation.
SB 48, also known as the Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act, requires that LGBTs' historical contributions be taught to California's school students.
The proposal, submitted by Lou Sheldon of the anti-gay Traditional Values Coalition, repeals SB 48′s requirement that instructional materials recognize those contributions.
