California public schools may soon have a model for teaching ethnic studies, but not before more controversy over its proposed curriculum. Now, after hundreds of revisions, the original writers of the curriculum are demanding their names be removed from the document that the state is hoping to approve next month.
The group of 20 ethnic studies educators across California who wrote the curriculum sent a letter to the state Board of Education saying the state’s revisions have made changes to their lesson plans and are no longer reflective of the original mission of ethnic studies.
