On April 15, the Cudahy City Council adopted a resolution to protect ethnic studies by formally opposing Assembly Bill 1468 (Zbur & Addis), a proposal that would establish statewide content standards for ethnic studies curriculum. 

The  Resolution No. 25-20 affirms the City’s position that local school districts should retain the flexibility to design curriculum that reflects the diverse backgrounds and lived experiences of their students. 

“Educational equity includes honoring the voices and stories of our local communities,” said Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez. 

“Preserving local input helps ensure that ethnic studies remain a powerful and authentic reflection of the students they represent,” said Councilmember Daisy Lomeli.
