Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law that would require the state’s school to teach the role that LGBT individuals have played in American society.

“One of the best ways to overcome intolerance is through education and exposure to different people and viewpoints,” Democratic state Sen. Heather Steans, a sponsor of the bill, said. “An inclusive curriculum will not only teach an accurate version of history but also promote acceptance of the LGBTQ community.”
