(Jewish Group) 'Anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-BDS': California's proposed ethnic studies curriculum

‘Anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-BDS’: California’s proposed ethnic studies curriculum gets an F from Jewish caucus

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

An ethnic studies curriculum proposed by the California Department of Education is “inaccurate and misleading” and reflects an “anti-Jewish bias,” Jewish members of the state’s legislature wrote to the head of the committee writing the curriculum.

The California Legislative Jewish Caucus says that the curriculum “effectively erases the American Jewish experience,” “omits anti-Semitism,” “denigrates Jews” and “singles Israel out for condemnation.”

The 16 state legislators, all Democrats, are “strongly opposed” to the current draft of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum “moving forward without significant revisions.”

Their eight-page letter to the chair of the department’s Instructional Quality Commission, Soomin Chao, was dated last week.

A law that passed in 2016 ordered the state’s board of education to create a curriculum that would highlight the contributions of minorities in the development of California and the United States. The board has put the model curriculum up for public comment and is expected to approve it next year.

I’d homeschool or send to Jewish private school. No way I’d send my kids to public schools there with this garbage being taught.
