A California school district rejected the state's social studies curriculum over the inclusion of Harvey Milk. The school board voted in an emergency meeting to accept the curriculum on Friday. The Temecula Unified School District board called an emergency meeting on Friday night where it voted to adopt the curriculum, the local TV news station KCAT reported. Newsom said in a video statement that the state would purchase the social studies books that the school district rejected for the parents in the district.

But technically, this was a strike to protest the school district’s labor practices, not over the state of the contract negotiations. Most of those short strikes started with both strikers and management knowing the length of the strike at the start. Los Angeles school workers and supporters rally in Los Angeles State Historic Park on the last day of a three-day strike this past week. Sometimes the union waging the strike doesn’t have the option, at least not at that time, to have an open-ended strike. Workers on strike sometimes receive strike benefits but they’re not eligible for unemployment benefits from their state.
