This week, Washington Democratic Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill into law mandating that all public schools in the state teach LGBTQ history as a required curriculum.
The controversial Senate Bill 5462 was passed by the Democrat-controlled legislature after originally being introduced in 2023 to expand "inclusive learning standards and instructional materials" using a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework, according to KPTV.
The new bill requires that educators develop a curriculum that includes the history and contributions of people from the LGBTQ movement, including those from various racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.
The legislation mandates that the Washington State School Directors’ Association must create the material by June 1, 2025. That will be followed by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) creating a schedule for revisions to the state learning standards by Sept. 1, 2025.
By Oct 1, 2025, all public schools are required to implement the new curriculum. All public schools are required to adopt the new learning standards.
One of the primary sponsors of the bill was far-left Democratic State Sen. Marko Liias, who, last year, championed controversial Senate Bill 5599 which critics say encourages minors to run away from home to receive sex changes and abortions without parental consent and at taxpayer expense.
The controversial legislation has been called “state-sanctioned kidnapping.”
