Delete. I'm not against a state-wide school project meeting GNG. But it seems like, with the present sourcing, this topic does not. I removed two truly irrelevant sources from the page: they did not even mention the project. The one remaining source https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/California-public-schools-mission-project-model-11953722.php is a local news site, which does not suffice.

Delete or Merge. I am not surprised that this may be deleted. But it does occur to me that it is a large bit of curriculum that millions of people have been exposed to, and the development of it, the controversies about it, and the way in which it was terminated would all be of interest to anyone interested in the development of school curriculum. Are there pages about curriculum development? Or about "Controversial topics in education"? For example, I am thinking of Are there articles about the how the political or social guides or perhaps distorts curriculum development? RayKiddy (talk) 18:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * teaching about the genocide (or the "not a genocide") of Armenians in Turkey in the early 20th century
 * teaching in the US about the Hindu religion (eg is it a non-theistic religion?)
 * teaching of "pet projects", such as the requirement that one day of instruction in California schools include instruction on Portugese-Americans. This was sponsored by a Portugese-American legislator. And I am sure other states and countries have examples like this.
 * curriculum not included in school, such as (in the US) how to vote.
