<p>Chile, ever since Governor Newsom won the recall election, he’s been applying pressure to the pen. On Friday, he signed a new ethnic studies requirement into law.</p>
<p>Newsom signed, sealed, and delivered a bill requiring students to take an ethnic studies course that will be needed to graduate high school.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ethnic studies courses enable students to learn their own stories — and those of their classmates,” Newsom stated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A press release from Newsom&#8217;s office stated that ethnic studies will “help expand educational opportunities in schools, teach students about the diverse communities that comprise California and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">boost academic engagement and attainment</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for students,” the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-10-08/california-first-state-require-ethnic-studies-high-school-graduation">Los Angeles Times</a> reports.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The law will apply to those who graduate in 2030.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This comes as elected officials have challenged and opposed teaching the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=critical+race+theory&;post_type=post">Critical Race Theory</a>. While other leaders like Governor Abbott have voiced they don’t deem it necessary, Newsom feels otherwise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“America is shaped by our shared history, much of it painful and etched with woeful injustice. [We] must understand our nation’s full history if we expect them to one day build a more just society,” Newsom stated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s also reported that California is the first state to do so.</span></p>
<p>Roomies, how do you feel about this?</p>
