Over the past 8 months, the Sikh Coalition has partnered with Texas Sikhs to press the state to include information on Sikhs in the mandatory state-wide public school curriculum. 

After months of intense work, the Coalition excitedly reports that a preliminary draft of the new curriculum standards requires information on Sikhs be taught.

However, the curriculum standards have not yet been finalized and adopted. In addition, the Coalition believes that more sections of the draft curriculum should include information on Sikhs.

The curriculum standards will be formally adopted in May 2010.  Today, we will update you on this campaign and the work ahead of us over the coming months.
