Find out the latest on this crucial issue, which has both statewide and national ramifications. Initially released last summer, the first draft of California Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum was widely criticized for fueling hatred and discrimination, having antisemitic bias, and promoting anti-Zionism. Despite some specific revisions, the current draft has retained its original framework, continuing to distort a potentially beneficial curriculum. The potential results are concerning for the Jewish community, communities of color, and our public schools overall.
Join this webinar to learn about the far-reaching consequences, why this is not a left or right issue, and the possible solutions.
Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies A diverse grassroots coalition working to remove political agendas from Ethnic Studies, enabling curricula that inspire mutual respect, fight racism, and foster balanced analysis.
