California schools left to figure out gay studies mandate

A landmark law requiring California schools to include contributions of gays and lesbians and people with disabilities in school curriculum technically went into effect in January.

But public schools have received little direction on the new law, leaving it up to individual schools and teachers to interpret how to teach it.

Right now, it's very loose and up in the air, said Demitrious Sinor, who teaches history at Desert Hot Springs High School.

(There's) no mandate of what to teach, how to teach, when to teach it.
