Gov. Newsom Takes Aim at SoCal School Board for Harvey Milk Ban

Gov. Gavin Newsom is not completely happy {that a} SoCal faculty board banned classes on the late Harvey Milk for teenagers … and it feels like he will do one thing about it.

California’s high governmental canine sounded off Saturday in response to a report concerning the Temecula Valley College Board lately voting to nix any literature concerning the former SF politician — who was brazenly homosexual, and who served a member of the Board of Supervisors.

Board president, Dr. Joseph Komrosky, was listening to out a fellow member … who needed to ban a biography of Milk — which was apparently accessible to 4th graders at a neighborhood elementary faculty as a part of their social research teachings — which touched on his gay life-style within the supplemental assets part … as a footnote.

The board member who raised this problem says he was made conscious of the fabric, discovering the knowledge in it to be extremely inappropriate for kids — and Komrosky agreed.

The truth is, Komrosky shocked many within the viewers by calling Milk a “pedophile” … which a number of folks, together with some lecturers/college/board members, pushed again on by strongly denying that characterization. They defined that he was instrumental in attaining homosexual rights within the U.S. … and that that historic reality should not be hidden from grade faculty children.

Komrosky held his floor … arguing that Milk’s non-public life — and presumably his public life at massive — wasn’t related and never worthy of being of their curriculum. Ultimately, the board voted 3-2 to do away with the Milk literature … and now, Gov. Newsom is conscious of it.

He took to Twitter and wrote, “An offensive assertion from an ignorant individual. This isn’t Texas or Florida. Within the Golden State, our youngsters have the liberty to be taught. Congrats Mr. Komrosky you may have our consideration. Keep tuned.” Newsom did not elaborate additional.

After all, GN’s spoken out in opposition to different states attempting to restrict the scope of training because it pertains to points like these — particularly in Florida, the place Gov. DeSantis has set a tone.

As for the entire “pedophile” declare … it is unclear why Komrosky referred to HM as that. It is doable he is likely to be referencing Milk’s one-time relationship with Jack McKinley, which is believed to have begun whereas McKinley was a teen … however that a part of historical past is a little bit hazy.
