Pride Month History: <br />New Jersey Schools Required to Teach LGBTQ History New Jersey became the second state in<br />the country to require LGBTQ inclusion<br />in public school teachings on January 31. California was the first state with the<br />passage of the FAIR Education Act in 2011. Under this law, public schools must include<br />lessons about political, economic and social<br />contributions of LGBTQ individuals. It will also require public schools to teach about<br />contributions made by people who are disabled. These changes will take effect<br />in the 2020-2021 school year. Christian Fuscarino, executive director of<br />Garden State Equality, believes the law is an<br />important step forward for youth in the state. Christian Fuscarino,<br />via ‘USA Today’
