Eh, Texas public schools have been teaching mandatory Texas Studies for 80 years now. Maybe ethnic studies in California will be less ethnocentric and pro-white.
We could just restate that as “Schools have always required bullshit to graduate”
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. Piles of bullshit should be spread in the garden, not heap more crap onto kids' educations. The next step will be mandatory feminism apology essays for toxic masculinity.
Sorry but with the limited time children have, I would rather they spend any available time on practical material like STEM, rather than material of limited rigor pushed by activists. I have nothing against a factual historical education, but we already have social studies for that. I have no doubt these new ethnic studies classes will be used to push controversial, poorly evidenced concepts like “white privilege” and “systemic racism”. The injection of grievance studies into public education is tantamount to turning them into indoctrination centers.
But-but-but edumacation and delusional, arbitrary experiments on children solve everything! How else will they learn they're "bad people" because they don't have enough oppressed identity bingo victim points?

If the diversity, tolerance-of-everything, and perfectly safe spaces crowd really wanted kids to be more tolerant, they would use the proven eye color discrimination activity. That works. But no, they want to teach hate, entitlement, blame, and shame through pseudoscience to demonize mostly white and Asian, straight men. Racism exists against Asians and Asian-Americans, but there's "no such thing" as racism against white people or sexism against men... it's dismissed automatically as "whining" or "disproven 'reverse discrimination' claims from bitter losers and racist white supremacist."

I was bused 180 minutes per day to a terrible elementary school because of mandatory desegregation. Their motto was "Everything is made equal by punishing those with anything going for them."

Yet another purity test to exclude the non-compliant deplorables from society. Asian kids graduate with math and language skills many years ahead of their Western brainwashed counterparts.
It will backfire when they eventually find that exclusion from mainstream California culture benefits the children.
