    Isn’t there a CA law already in place that recommends (mandates???) Ethnic Studies by 2021?

    Agree that Ethnic Studies is a great way to address racial equality and social justice.

    This is a much needed class in high school, so that students will learn about different cultures.

    It is a critical missing part of every student’s education, particularly for students of color, who rarely if ever find themselves embedded anywhere in the K-12 curriculum.

    All of California’s youth need and deserve Ethnic Studies! Research-based Ethnic Studies in K-12 schools has great promise to address structural and individual inequities and injustices in society. If we want to make schools a true equalizer, K-12 Ethnic Studies is the only path forward.
