California governor Edmund Brown has signed into law the two
legislations protecting the rights of the Sikhs in the State and
including information about the religion in high school curriculum.
One of the legislations updates the California high school curriculum so
that every student in the state learns about the about the history, tradition and
theology of Sikhism and California Sikhs. The other legislation
clarifies the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to ensure that
employees receive equal protection under law, specifically protecting
religious observances such as the turban, hijab and yarmulke.
