New education laws going into effect TODAY:

• Illinois is prohibiting book bans in libraries

• In California, the teaching of cursive writing from first to sixth grades will be mandatory, and media literacy and Asian American history will be added to the curriculum for K-12 students

[Yelitza Dunham @YelitzaDunham]

Just a reminder that California passed a law this fall prohibiting schools from blocking books because of their representation of a certain race, gender or other identity group. State can now impose fines for violations of this new law. #ICYMI #NoBookBans
