SPRINGFIELD – A person's sexual orientation being different other than his or her biological sex would be the key reason he or she would be included in the proposed "Inclusive Curriculum" bill, says ALMA Chicago in a tweet Friday.
"Our students need to learn that LGBTQ people have played important roles in our history," and that should be required in the history curriculum, the tweet says.
The Illinois Senate passed a similar measure in 2018. It was not called for a vote in the Illinois House. Now Democrats have super-majorities in both chambers.
ALMA – the Association of Latinos as Motivating Action – says its purpose is "to fight for the rights of the Latino Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning community by advocating for fairness and equality."
