Temecula teachers, parents and employees rallied in front of 18 elementary schools and at a park Tuesday, June 6, to protest the school board’s rejection of a curriculum that mentioned late gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
Led by members of the Temecula Valley Educators Association, the demonstrations across the Temecula Valley Unified School District aimed to inform parents of the board’s decision, which has drawn criticism, including from Gov. Gavin Newsom. An afternoon rally at the Temecula Duck Pond included more than 100 teachers, parents and residents.
