Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee reportedly signed a bill into law Monday mandating public schools to teach LGBT history starting next year.
Guided by the generalized ideals of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) ideology, the successful legislation (Senate Bill 5462) will inject “inclusive learning standards and instructional materials” into all public schools, which includes governmentally mandated lessons on LGBT history, KPTV reported. It was presented to the governor’s desk on March 8 and was signed by Inslee 10 days later.
