The American ‘Cultural Revolution’ Is Underway
Commentary
The California State Assembly recently passed a bill mandating a semester of ethnic studies as a graduation requirement for all high school students. Many California residents, and a large number of Chinese Americans, organized protest rallies to boycott the state legislature’s proposal, fearing implementation of communist Cultural Revolution-style theories in schools. Some parents are advocating against teaching Critical Race Theory to their children.
At the protest rallies against the bill, signs read, “Stop Hatred Education” and “Against the California Communist Cultural Revolution.”
However, the proposal officially passed at the end of May under the leadership of Jose Medina, a Democrat representative of California’s 61st District and a chair of the Higher Education Committee.
A number of Californians are among the inaugural class being inducted into the LGBTQ Hall of Fame May 2 by the LGBTQ Victory Institute. A total of 20 LGBTQ elected officials, appointed officials, and candidates are being honored for their lasting impact on LGBTQ political history.
