PASADENA (CBSLA.com/AP) — A bill authored by a Pasadena lawmaker that encourages schools to teach about the historical significance of Barack Obama becoming the nation’s first African-American president is now California law.

KNX 1070’s Bob Brill reports Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1912, whose author, Assemblymember Chris Holden, says will be the first step toward acknowledging President Obama’s legacy for generations to come.

AB 1912 asks the State Board of Education and the Instructional Quality Commission advisory panel to include the “significance of the United States electing its first African American President” in the 2008 election in the state’s history and social science standards for grades seven to twelve.

The bill – which passed the Assembly in April a 71-0 vote and no debate or discussion – calls the election a “historic step in the effort towards equality in the United States” and that previous elections in the nation involved intimidation and physical violence that prevented millions of African-Americans from voting, according to the Associated Press.

It also commends Obama for his work as a community organizer who registered voters after he graduated from Harvard Law School.

“Just 145 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and only a generation removed from the civil rights struggles, President Obama’s election represented the moment when all things seemed possible,” Holden said in a statement.

California hasn’t updated its guidelines for teaching social studies classes since 2005. A 2009 effort was cancelled because of limited money, the Associated Press reported.

But while Holden said the legislation enjoyed overwhelming, bipartisan support as it made its way through Sacramento this year, author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson said it’s unusual for a state legislature to pass a bill telling schools they should include a president in classroom curriculum.

“There really shouldn’t be a need for this, a special bill,” said Hutchinson. “Obviously, President Obama did make history, becoming the first African-American [President], but on the other hand, he is the President of the United States. It is a signature accomplishment in the sense that, as other presidents, they’re routinely taught.”

Finally, of course, the war is over. At that time their interest shifts over to preventing what they call a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914 when World War I broke out. At that point they came to the conclusion that, to prevent a reversion, “we must control education in the United States.” They realize that that's a pretty big task. It is too big for them alone, so they approach the Rockefeller Foundation with the suggestion that that portion of education which could be considered domestic be handled by the Rockefeller Foundation and that portion which is international should be handled by the Endowment. They then decide that the key to success of these two operations lay in the alteration of the teaching of American history. 
So they approach four of the then-most prominent teachers of American history in the country – people like Charles and Mary Byrd – and their suggestion to them is: will they alter the manner in which they present their subject? And they got turned down flat. So they then decide that it is necessary for them to do as they say, “build our own stable of historians.” 
Then they approach the Guggenheim Foundation, which specializes in fellowships, and say: “When we find young men in the process of studying for doctorates in the field of American history and we feel that they are the right caliber, will you grant them fellowships on our say-so?” And the answer is yes. So, under that condition, eventually they assembled assemble twenty, and they take this twenty potential teachers of American history to London, and there they're briefed on what is expected of them when, as, and if they secure appointments in keeping with the doctorates they will have earned. That group of twenty historians ultimately becomes the nucleus of the American Historical Association.
