The California Department of Education is taking the Cajon Valley Union School District to court over a sexual education curriculum the agency says discriminates against LGBTQ+ students.
CDE filed a petition in San Diego Superior Court last week asking a judge to compel the district to implement corrective measures, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.
Last year, the state investigated the sex ed curriculum of the north San Diego County school district and found that it removed required information on LGBTQ+ and gender topics. Cajon Valley, a district serving over 15,000 students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade, has faced pressure from some groups to scrub its curriculum of anything affiliated with LGBTQ+ topics.
The department laid out a timeline for the district to come back into compliance. By March 15, it was supposed to show evidence that teachers were trained in a curriculum that met state requirements.
During a Jan. 31 special meeting, the board of trustees voted 3-1 against adopting updates that would put the district back in compliance.
Superintendent David Miyashiro declined to comment on the litigation, but he told the department that the district has run into “obvious obstacles.”
