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.
"If these extremist school board members won't do their job, we will — and fine them for their incompetence," Newsom said.
