 * The FAIR Act took affect in January of 2012 in California. It added to the California Ed Code: Gender Identification, Sexual Orientation, Persons with disabilities, and Pacific Islanders. Teachers, administrators, school boards etc. must be fair in the treatment of the above classes of people as well as including them where possible in history lessons. It has been shown that including people of all sorts in the classroom and providing a safe space for all people increases the ability of all students to learn **
 * Sharing ** accurate ** and inclusive information is a vital step to setting a climate of respect and keeping our schools safe. **
 * In the next couple of years, we have money to plan for common core. I think this is an excellent opportunity to add FAIR act lessons, while getting paid to do so. Common core has a renewed emphasis in reading and writing about primary and secondary documents. Duh, that is the history teachers’ area of expertise. Let’s lead the way in our schools in this effort. **
