Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School (edited by Don Romesburg) documents a half-century of struggle to bring LGBTQ content into history classrooms. The landscape of K-12 U.S. history education has been transformed by the passage of the FAIR (Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful) Education Act in 2011, which made California the first state in the nation to mandate inclusion of LGBT representation in textbooks and curricula. While numerous states have followed suit, others have recently enacted “Don’t Say Gay” laws that censor an honest telling of history. The bookj suggests how lessons from that past should inform current and future efforts toward a more inclusive history education and, ultimately, a stronger democracy.
