Dear School Board Representative, We urge you to support the implementation of Ethnic Studies as a graduation requirement at the Coachella Valley Unified School District. As elected officials, you can help maintain our district’s vision by ensuring that our students are prepared to graduate, and attend college, as critical thinkers, with an understanding of various cultural and social issues. The implementation of Ethnic Studies as a graduation requirement benefits our students and our school district.

    When history is constantly being erased, this is very important. Our students are unaware of their roots and are already being disenfranchised. I also advocate for Queer and Women’s Studies as Governor Brown signed into law two years ago, to be taught in high school. Erasing history is more damaging than we imagine. Thank you for this effort.

    We need this. We need to know about us not the Americanized version.
