Gov. Gavin Newsom is not completely satisfied {that a} SoCal college board banned classes on the late Harvey Milk for children … and it appears like he will do one thing about it.
California’s prime governmental canine sounded off Saturday in response to a report in regards to the Temecula Valley School Board not too long ago voting to nix any literature in regards to the former SF politician — who was overtly homosexual, and who served a member of the Board of Supervisors.

Board president, Dr. Joseph Komrosky, was listening to out a fellow member … who wished to ban a biography of Milk — which was apparently obtainable to 4th graders at an area elementary college as a part of their social research teachings — which touched on his gay way of life within the supplemental assets part … as a footnote.
The board member who raised this problem says he was made conscious of the fabric, discovering the data in it to be extremely inappropriate for kids — and Komrosky agreed.
In truth, Komrosky shocked many within the viewers by calling Milk a “pedophile” … which a number of folks, together with some academics/college/board members, pushed again on by strongly denying that characterization. They defined that he was instrumental in reaching homosexual rights within the U.S. … and that that historic truth should not be hidden from grade college children.
Komrosky held his floor … arguing that Milk’s non-public life — and presumably his public life at giant — wasn’t related and never worthy of being of their curriculum. In the tip, the board voted 3-2 to do away with the Milk literature … and now, Gov. Newsom is conscious of it.
An offensive assertion from an ignorant particular person.
This isn’t Texas or Florida. In the Golden State, our children have the liberty to study.
Congrats Mr. Komrosky you will have our consideration. Stay tuned. https://t.co/4HHLm3q57r

He took to Twitter and wrote, “An offensive statement from an ignorant person. This isn’t Texas or Florida. In the Golden State, our kids have the freedom to learn. Congrats Mr. Komrosky you have our attention. Stay tuned.” Newsom did not elaborate additional.
Of course, GN’s spoken out towards different states making an attempt to restrict the scope of training because it pertains to points like these — particularly in Florida, the place Gov. DeSantis has set a tone.
As for the entire “pedophile” declare … it is unclear why Komrosky referred to HM as that. It’s attainable he could be referencing Milk’s one-time relationship with Jack McKinley, which is believed to have begun whereas McKinley was a teen … however that a part of historical past is a bit hazy.
In any case, there isn’t any extra Milk classes there for the elementary schoolers … for now.
