California School Board President Calls Harvey Milk a 'Pedophile' [View all]

LGBTQ+ allies and activists in California are noticing troubling developments in a local school district as conservative concerns enter the public discourse in the blue state regarding teaching LGBTQ+ existence to children.

There was outrage last month when the Temecula Valley School Board voted to reject a social studies textbook that's teacher's material mentions Harvey Milk, the iconic California gay rights activist who was killed because of his civil service, Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC reports.

The board’s president even falsely asserted that Milk was a sexual predator before voting to ban the text. The measure passed by a vote of 3-2.
