Educators need to start working on new curricula to teach students about the contributions, perspectives, and histories of all people, including the stories of LGBTQ+ Washingtonians.
This new inclusive learning law takes effect June 6 and includes all districts, even those that have opposed it. While Senate Bill 5462 was still in committee, several school boards passed resolutions against its passage.
Those who lobbied for this bill to pass argued that it follows the reality of the world we live in and does not encourage any type of lifestyle or behavior.
The new law directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to update curricula at all grade levels to include the histories, contributions, and perspectives of LGBTQ+ people by Dec. 1.
The lessons must be age-appropriate, and then all school districts, charter schools, and state-tribal schools will have to incorporate those new curricula by Oct. 1, 2025.
