“History Not Just a ‘Straight’ Line”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-07-14-california-teaching-gay-history-schools_n.htm

Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a new bill Thursday that adds gay history to the social studies curriculum in California public schools.  So now, California students will finally learn about Socrates, Julius Caesar, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, the entire Confederate army, Abraham Lincoln, Oscar Wilde, Rock Hudson, Harvey Milk, and Hillary Clinton.

By including the contributions of gays who played a role in shaping history, the schools’ goal will be to make social studies much more social.

Previously, the only official gay curriculum in the schools was Drama Club.

The nation’s first gay history museum opened Wednesday in San Francisco. It’s called San Francisco.

It’s the museum where history not only comes alive, it comes OUT!

The architecture of the museum is nothing to speak of, but the interior design is fabulous.

You don’t have to be gay to go to the museum, but Catholic priests will get a discount.
