Washington’s Democratic Governor Jay Inslee signed a law forcing the state’s public schools to include ‘LGBTQ history’ in their curriculum. Proposed back in 2023, Senate Bill 5462 was intended to broaden “inclusive learning standards and instructional materials” through a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework.
The legislation mandates that the curriculum incorporate the history and contributions of individuals associated with the LGBTQ movement and those from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The legislation requires that the updated curriculum be in place by October 1, 2025.
Democratic State Senator Marko Liias, known for his far-left political positions, was one of the bill’s primary sponsors. Last year, Liias supported the controversial Senate Bill 5599, which was criticized for motivating minors to leave their homes to gain access to sex changes and abortions sans parental permission and funded by taxpayers. The debatable bill has been referred to as “state-sanctioned kidnapping.”
Washington’s move to enshrine ‘LGBTQ history’ into its school curriculum comes amidst a nationwide backlash against LGBT indoctrination. It also comes as an increasing number of other states are divesting from DEI programs.
