Existing law requires instruction in social sciences to include the early history of California and a study of the role and contributions of both men and women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other ethnic and cultural groups, to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America, with particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society. This bill would, before January 1, 2014, require the State Department of Education to establish the California Latino Curriculum Committee to be composed of specified individuals, for the purpose of developing California Latino curriculum that is consistent with the history-social science curriculum framework and state-adopted academic content standards for use in public schools maintaining any combination of instructional settings from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive. The bill would require the committee to, in the development of the California Latino curriculum, consult with the other groups of people whose roles and contributions to the early history of California are required to be included in instruction in social sciences and would require the committee to submit the curriculum to the State Board of Education for inclusion in the next revision of the history-social science curriculum framework.
