Bill: California AB 1078
Author: Asm. Corey Jackson (D-Riverside)
Position: Oppose
Summary: Prevents Local Control of Books/Curriculum in Public Schools
Status 9/25/23: Signed Into Law
AB 1078 would remove powers that local school boards have over the curriculum taught in their school district by requiring the school district to receive approval from the state board of education before “removing any instructional materials or ceasing to teach any curriculum.” School districts would also have to get the same approval before removing “any books, publications, or papers from schools and school libraries.”
The bill also requires that “every instructional material” adopted by a school district “shall include proportional and accurate representation of California’s diversity in the following categories: race, gender, socioeconomic status, religious and sexuality.” This bill is part of Jackson’s “Anti-Racism” bill package and seems targeted at school districts that have banned critical race theory.
