. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California's schoolage population is changing dramatically,
becoming increasingly diverse both racially and ethnically. These
changing patterns of our social fabric have presented society with
serious opportunities and concerns in the area of human relations.
(b) School districts are an effective vehicle for teaching
children human relations and prejudice reduction.
(c) Through the use of a pilot project, human relations materials
that foster cooperation and group work can increase academic
achievement and self-esteem, and promote positive interaction among
pupils from different racial, religious, and ethnic groups.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature that the development of
human relations materials and staff training modules provide models
for the implementation of California's most recent History/Social
Studies Framework.
