Assemblymember Luis Alejo (D-Salinas) introduced AB 1750 that would create a task force to identify the appropriate curricula for establishing and implementing ethnic studies in public high schools statewide.

“We can’t continue to ignore the diversity of our student population,” says Alejo. “Our education system should reflect the demographics of our state.  AB 1750 makes sure that we identify the best standards to teach ethnic studies at the high school level, which would broaden a student’s outlook on life and promote awareness of their own and other’s cultures.”
