But starting in the 2013-14 school year, it would prohibit districts and the California Board of Education from using textbooks or other instructional materials that reflect adversely on gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.

And here we go again on the gray of what “offensive” would mean.

As if more time teaching means better skills.

Well I went to school in CA and I think that learning things like how the Chinese built the railroads and had to fight for the right to vote (like blacks and women and mexicans and native americans) were hours and tax dollars well spent.

Maybe social studies and recent history is not as important to you.

I am glad you are not teaching our kids.

I agree that gray concepts of offensiveness are stupid but in practice, concepts of appropriate vs inappropriate speech in schools has not really presented too much of a problem.
Nobody finds banning epithets in the classroom particularly controversial.
