Anti-Israel Ethnic-Studies Curriculum Proposed in California
(JNS) Jacob Richman and Sean Savage - A new ethnic-studies curriculum under consideration by the California Department of Education has been widely condemned by pro-Israel and Jewish groups for its "blatant bias against Israel." Members of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, all Democrats, wrote to the California Department of Education on July 29: "We cannot support a curriculum that erases the American Jewish experience, fails to discuss anti-Semitism, reinforces negative stereotypes about Jews, singles out Israel for criticism and would institutionalize the teaching of anti-Semitic stereotypes in our public schools."
