In this Tuesday, May 17, 2016 photo, Executive Director Korean American Forum of California, Phyllis Kim poses for a photo at the Galleria Market in Koreatown district of Los Angeles. Kim pushed for inclusion of Asian comfort women in World War II in the curriculum. How do you teach a history of the world in a state where nearly two-thirds of students are Latino or Asian, many from freshly immigrated families?
