Jewish Coalition Sues California School Board over Anti-Israel Curriculum
(Daily Caller) Kate Anderson - A coalition of Jewish advocate groups sued the Santa Ana, California, school district Monday, alleging that the school board passed an anti-Israel ethnic studies curriculum without due transparency. The school district approved new courses in April on ethnic studies that accused Israel of being an apartheid state and committing war crimes against Palestinians. The coalition includes the ADL, StandWithUs, and the American Jewish Committee. Rachel Lerman, senior counsel for the Brandeis Center, said, "everyone agrees that no matter how much you favor ethnic studies, it's not a place for antisemitism, and there's really some very strong anti-Israel propaganda in these curricula....You don't want to raise a whole generation of kids to think that way."
