“Cancel culture has gone too far in Temecula,' Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday, regarding banned books in Temecula.
In the latest salvo in a battle between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the president of the Temecula Valley Unified School District over a banned book, Newsom announced Thursday that the state would purchase the book for district students if the board did not ensure that students had sufficient material before the start of the school year on Aug. 14.
The board must purchase one of the four standard programs approved by the state, a governor’s spokesperson said. Komrosky said the curriculum was rejected not only for its reference to Milk but also over concerns regarding the district’s process, including whether it had “adequately engaged the community regarding the adoption of curriculum” and whether the curriculum was appropriate for English learners and special education students.After an “intense effort,” Komrosky said “district stakeholders” had assembled a curriculum to be presented at the board meeting set for Tuesday.
“Gov. Newsom, I’m glad that I have your attention. Now you have mine,” Komrosky said to applause from supporters attending the conference. Komrosky said Thursday that the district had made arrangements with the publisher of its current curriculum “to provide enough textbooks for every single K-5 student of the District.”
