Sorry but with the limited time children have, I would rather they spend any available time on practical material like STEM, rather than material of limited rigor pushed by activists. I have nothing against a factual historical education, but we already have social studies for that. I have no doubt these new ethnic studies classes will be used to push controversial, poorly evidenced concepts like “white privilege” and “systemic racism”. The injection of grievance studies into public education is tantamount to turning them into indoctrination centers.

Yet another purity test to exclude the non-compliant deplorables from society. Asian kids graduate with math and language skills many years ahead of their Western brainwashed counterparts.

It will backfire when they eventually find that exclusion from mainstream California culture benefits the children.

Lol

Eh, Texas public schools have been teaching mandatory Texas Studies for 80 years now. Maybe ethnic studies in California will be less ethnocentric and pro-white.

We could just restate that as “Schools have always required bullshit to graduate”
