CA Gov Gavin Newsom: "You don't get to rewrite history in a back room.

You don't get to erase basic facts around segregation, the holocaust, or Rosa Parks' story.

The extremists in Florida and textbook companies that are colluding with them are about to be exposed."

"Parents have a right to know what’s happening to undermine kids' education.

Governor Newsom is demanding records from publishers and Florida to find out whether any of the companies designing California’s textbooks are the same ones kowtowing to Florida’s extremist agenda."

CA is the 4th largest economy in the WORLD and home to 39M people (more than 10% of the U.S.).

Newsom recently used this same power to convince Walgreens to reverse it’s decision not to carry the anti-abortion pill.

Texas and Florida are the 2 states that inform textbook material for the country. Texas always has been. This must change.

Yes. I've been posting in various places (I started with Message Boards in the 1990s) about Texas' stranglehold on textbooks and school curricula.

I'm glad someone in charge is finally starting to do something about it.

Yes, they have and they've now taken it to such extreme lengths that California is finally stepping up and saying hell no.
