Newsom threatens to fine school board in dispute over 'banned' books
Fox News
Gov. Gavin Newsom released a video threatening to fine the Temecula Valley School District for “censoring" a social studies book that mentioned gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
"We’re going to purchase the book for these students—the same one that hundreds of thousands of kids are already using. If these extremist school board members won’t do their job, we will — and fine them for their incompetence," it went on. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
In the video, Newsom addressed the "parents" in TVSD about the board’s decision to exclude the materials.
