Disappointed that lawsuits and complaints against school districts haven’t forced change, a national Jewish nonprofit law organization is suing the California Department of Education and state officials for their failure to stem antisemitism in California schools.
The Louis D. Brandeis Center Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism filed the lawsuit, its first against a state, yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of five families whose children attended public schools in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The complaint cites numerous state anti-discrimination laws as the basis for the lawsuit, as well as the California Constitution’s
guarantee that all students are entitled to equal opportunity in education.
It cites a half-dozen districts in which the alleged discrimination has occurred in the past two years. They are the Los Angeles, Berkeley, Fremont, San Francisco and Oakland Unified school districts and Campbell Union High School
District, where six students at Branham High in December formed a human swastika on the football field, then posted it on social media with a quote from Adolf Hitler.
The lawsuit cited numerous examples in which the children of the plaintiffs, most of them named, were taunted, bullied, and, in two cases, physically assaulted by other students,
HILLARY DOESN’T KNOW:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before Congress yesterday that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes. Clinton said she had no idea about their crimes and doesn’t recall ever encountering Epstein. Former President Bill Clinton is expected to testify today. The deposition was paused after Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert sent a photo of Hillary Clinton in the room to a conservative influencer who posted it on social media, violating the committee’s rules for depositions.

A man who shot up Fleming’s Steakhouse at the Stanford Shopping Center will be sentenced to five years in state prison, according to court records.
Zachary Michael Ginsberg, 32, of San Jose, allegedly tried to kill his old
boss and longtime friend at Fleming’s on Nov. 21, 2022, by shooting a gun out of his car twice from El Camino Real toward the restaurant.
One bullet shattered a front window, and another hit a parked truck. Fifteen employees and seven customers were inside at the time, Officer David Pecoraro said in his police report. Ginsberg took a plea deal in the case on Feb. 10, according to court records.
Twenty minutes after the shooting, police officers stormed the mall with rifles after a caller reported a man with a holster. Shoppers and employees hid

A convicted serial child rapist from the Sacramento area who was set to be released from prison yesterday, was quickly re-arrested for a 1996 child sex assault case, the Sacramento Bee reports.
David Allen Funston, 64, was set to be released under a state law that grants parole to inmates 60 or older who had been incarcerated for at least 25 years. He had been granted parole in September, sparking outrage and protests in the area.
Funston was re-arrested on a no bail warrant from the Placer County Sheriff’s Office and that county’s district attorney filed charges for its case.
Investigators in Placer County, which is just north was arrested for kidnapping, raping and sexually as
saulting eight Sacramento-area children who ranged in age from 3 to 7 in 1995, the Bee reported.
Funston lured his victims with toys, candy and dolls in the attacks in neighborhoods in the Sacramento area.
Placer didn’t file charges against Funston at the time, thinking that the three life sentences Funston received in 1999 would ensure he would be “removed from society,” according to a statement from the Placer County DA’s office.
“When changes in the law put our communities at risk, it is our duty to re-evaluate those cases and act accordingly,” said Placer County DA Morgan Gire.
Gov. Gavin Newsom had requested the parole board re-review its decision to grant Funston parole. But Newsom’s office said this week that state law
Bernie is a sweet two-year-old male Holland Lop rabbit. He is active and curious and loves to explore! He has really warmed up to being held and loved by his caretakers, even allowing them to brush his gorgeous furry coat. If you give him some dandelion greens, he might reward you later by flopping over on his side, showing you how comfortable and loved he feels. He also likes to munch on rabbit pellets made of timothy hay as well as kale, cilantro, parsley, and an occasional apple slice.

San Mateo County Assessor Appeals Board Commissioner Clinton Eric Freeman is not running for Assessor-Clerk-Recorder after seeing the competition.
Freeman told the Post yesterday he was considering running after seeing that only Supervisor David Canepa was a candidate. But after Assistant Assessor-Clerk-Recorder Jim Irizarry said he was going to run, Freeman changed his mind.
Freeman is a commissioner on the
board that reviews disputes between taxpayers and the Assessor’s Office regarding property values.
Irizarry’s backers Irizarry has more support than he would have, Freeman said.
Irizarry is endorsed by Supervisors Jackie Speier, Ray Mueller and Noelia Corzo, all of whom sit on the board with Canepa.
Freeman said he was only interested in competing against Canepa.
The position has no term limits and an annual base salary of $317,040.

Belmont has received plans for a new fire station and townhouses where a vacant warehouse currently stands near Ralston Middle School.
Galen Ma, a developer for Sierra Investments, submitted plans on Jan. 28 to demolish the existing warehouse at 2 Davis Drive and build 45 townhomes across seven buildings and a new fire station.
Each building will have four to seven units, and there will be 96 parking spots, two per unit, according to the city’s website. The project will build a new station on approximately 16,000 square feet along Davis Drive, according to the city.
The city is still reviewing the plans and has not posted them yet, according to its website.
New fire station
The city has been looking to replace its old station at 2701 Cipriani Blvd. with a newer building, according to Assistant City Manager Kathy Kleinbaum.
“There are no specific issues with the building as in immediate life and safety concerns. We have not yet determined what would happen to the existing building once a replacement fire station is built,” Kleinbaum said in an email.
The developers’ new proposal is in the early stages and is being reviewed by the city before it goes before the planning commission.

East Palo Alto Council has unanimously approved requiring street vendors to have insurance and to operate within regulated hours and locations.
Council on Tuesday did not decide on insurance requirements and operating times after hearing concerns from vendors that the proposed 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. time frame would affect how much they sell in a day.
Christopher Ibarra said selling food on the street is what helps him provide for his family. He isn’t asking for council to give him any special privileges, but only the opportunity to sell on the street as a permitted vendor. Ibarra said the county’s health permit prices are high, so council should consider lowering insurance and permit prices.
San Mateo County Health permits range from $439 to $1,804, depending on the kind of food the vendor sells, according to the county website.
Time restrictions
The ordinance would restrict vendors from selling in residential areas from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but council said it will consider extending it to 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Mayor Webster Lincoln said he is concerned about extending hours be-
cause it could create more traffic in residential areas and vendors blocking driveways.
Vendors will also need to have insurance, a trash can and a permit to sell, according to Assistant City Manager Denise Garcia. To enforce the ordinance, there will be a verbal warning, then a written warning, before any fines are issued, Garcia said. As council decides on the specifics of the ordinance, it can also choose to allocate a $125,000 grant to help vendors get equipment and permits, according to Garcia.
Potential designated space
Alejandro Gonzalez, who sells hot dogs, said he is trying to make ends meet and if council set low prices, it would give vendors, like him, the opportunity to grow their businesses. Council should consider designating a place for vendors to set up their businesses, which could help bring the community together, Gonzalez said.
Council agreed with the idea, but finding a place would be challenging.
Councilwoman Martha Barragan said a location could benefit vendors as the FIFA World Cup will be hosted at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
At a future meeting, council will decide insurance prices, operating times, and when the ordinance will take effect.

This Isn’t a Senior Residence. It’s a
This Isn’t a Senior Residence. It’s a Life Enrichment Campus.
The vast majority of organ donations once came from people who were brain-dead. Now they’re increasingly coming from people who died when their heart stopped beating, a major shift that can boost transplants but also raises public confusion, researchers reported yesterday.
ry death is far more common in some parts of the country than others. That suggests better educating the public and local hospitals about the option could further increase access to lifesaving transplants.
What’s called donation after circulatory death, or DCD, jumped dramatically in a short period: It accounted for 49% of all deceased donors in the U.S. last year, up from 2% in 2000.
Welcome to a campus designed for people who are still curious, still engaged, and still very much in the world. A place where independence is assumed, growth is encouraged, and age is
Welcome to a campus designed for people who are still curious, still engaged, and still very much in the world. A place where independence is assumed, growth is encouraged, and age is simply part of the mix—not the point. Here, you don’t “slow down.”
Technology has helped overcome barriers to using DCD organs — ways to keep them from deteriorating as the heartbeat winds down — spurring this type of donation at the same time the nation is hunting ways to overcome a dire shortage. More than 100,000 people are on the transplant waiting list and thousands die waiting. Just over 49,000 transplants were performed last year.
But specialists from NYU Langone Health found donation after circulato-
The findings, published in the medical journal JAMA, come as some rare but scary reports of potential donors who showed signs of life have shaken trust in the transplant system.
Additional safeguards are being developed by both federal officials and the nonprofit organ procurement organizations, or OPOs, that the government certifies to coordinate donation. The new findings may aid that policymaking.
Donation after circulatory death is complex and “we need to make sure we are doing it well,” said Dr. Babak Orandi, an NYU transplant surgeon and study co-author. “If we stop doing it or severely restrict it, there would be pretty significant repercussions for patients.”
The head of the Food and Drug Administration plans to start offering bonus payments to agency drug reviewers who complete their work ahead of schedule, the latest in a flurry of changes to longstanding norms.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary described the effort as a pilot program during a staff presentation yesterday, saying the first quarterly bonus payments would start going out to employees around August. The Associated Press obtained slides and a recording of the presentation.
“My job as your commissioner is to be your advocate and to fight for you,” Makary told FDA staffers, adding that getting approval for the payments took “some wrangling.”
“If you don’t like it, we can get rid of it, but usually everybody loves money,” Makary said.
Questions remain
The plan raises a number of questions, including exactly how the payments will be distributed across large teams of staffers who typically contribute to drug reviews. Employees who are not directly involved in drug reviews — such as factory inspectors — are not eligible for the payments. The pilot also presents potential ethical dilemmas if FDA reviewers are seen as being rewarded for rushing key steps.
“This program values speed, but never at the expense of quality,” states one of the slides.
Dear Vanessa, I’ve noticed that in caregiver and healthcare, people often say, “I know how you feel” when someone is grieving, scared, or overwhelmed. It’s usually meant kindly- but I’ve heard you say we should never say this. Why? And what should we say instead, especially in home care?
-
Mary Jo
Dear Mary Jo,
This question matters because it sits right where good intentions and real impact meet.
Early in my nursing education, one of the first communication principles we were taught was simple but firm: never say, “I know how you feel.” At the time, it felt overly strict. Years later, I understand why it was emphasized so clearly.
Because the truth is, we really don’t know how someone else feels.
Not long ago, I was visiting a client for the first time. She was sharing how worried she was about her daughter, who was about to undergo surgery. Without thinking, I said the familiar phrase, “I know how you feel.” She paused, looked at me, and said, “No, you don’t.” She wasn’t angry. She was honest. And she was right. I immediately apologized for my lack of sensitivity.
Even when we’ve lived through something similarloss, illness, fear, caregiving, exhaustion- another person’s experience is still shaped by their own body, their history, their relationships, their culture, and the exact moment they are living in. When we say, “I know how you feel,” we unintentionally shift attention away from their lived experience and toward our own interpretation of it.
In-home care, this distinction matters deeply. An older adult may be grieving the loss of independence or
safety in their own body. A family caregiver may be running on little sleep while carrying guilt, love, fear, and responsibility all at once. When we say, “I know how you feel,” what they may hear- without us meaning to- is that their experience has already been understood, categorized, and closed. It can feel like there is nothing more they need or are allowed to explain.
What people often need instead is to be seen without being summarized.
Healthcare teaches us to move quickly. We assess, reassure, and intervene. We are trained to reduce discomfort. But emotional discomfort isn’t something to fix. It’s something to sit with. And sitting with someone requires humility.
Some of the most meaningful moments in home care don’t come from having the right advice or finding the perfect words. They happen when a caregiver slows down, sits beside someone, softens their voice, and simply makes space to listen. When someone is navigating illness, aging, or loss, being perfectly understood matters far less than knowing they are truly being heard.
So if there is one thing I would offer caregivers and healthcare professionals, it is this: you don’t need to prove that you understand. You just need to be willing to listen. That quiet willingness is where trust begins.
Warmly, Vanessa

BY MARK KENNEDY
Associated Press Writer
Early in “Scream 7,” in one of those blasts of the franchise’s signature, self-mocking irony, Neve Campbell is taunted for sitting out “Scream VI.”
“It’s not the same without you,” she is told.
It’s true: Campbell’s Sidney Prescott is the plucky heart of this series, the original Scream Queen, the so-called Final Girl, who bites her lip and yet leaps into action when needed. “Scream VI” tried to put defibrillator paddles on the Ghostface killer franchise without Campbell, and it felt like a stutter-step.
So it’s a welcome back for Sidney Prescott in this seventh edition, which is a messy mix of horror and humor that’s clearly only for “Scream” completists, those hardy folk who refuse logic or vivid filmmaking in their quest to see a dude in a cape and mask stab people.
Catching up
Sidney is now a mom to a rebellious 17-year-old daughter, a wife to the town’s police chief and a cafe owner in the very artificial suburban community of Pine Grove. She has pushed her traumatic past into a memory hole and thus has created a
tension with her daughter, played by a very bratty Isabel May. Her calm life is upended when her past comes to find her.
Franchise creator Kevin Williamson returns to direct and co-write the screenplay with series veteran Guy Busick, but it’s all very slack, a ton of B-acting joined by a plot, dialogue and editing that produces less dread than inadvertent humor, slipping over and over in its own puddle of gore.
“Scream 7” mixes old and new franchise characters, adds new horrific ways to die — like being slit open while suspended over a high school
theater stage or having your skull impaled on a beer tap — with a desperate search for whoever is doing the killings. It’s never who you think it is and you’ll never figure this one out, either.
Familiar formula
“Scream 7” is all about 2026, embracing deepfake videos, trying to absorb a messy past and deal with helicopter parents. It also embraces such interesting ways to kill people as fire extinguishers to the noggin, meat mallets and a slide across a bar into broken shot glass shards. Campbell is joined by Courteney
Cox, who reprises her role as Gale Weathers, an annoying TV journalist who is the only character to appear in all seven “Scream” films. (Is that really something to boast about?)
Even Cox has some shade to share with Sidney about missing the franchise’s last jaunt to New York City in “Scream VI:” “You’re lucky you sat that one out. It was brutal.” Preach, sister. We watched it.
While there are nods to other horror movies, “Scream” has always been fun for the way it deconstructs the genre while making a new one. This time, that’s just flat.
There’s a stab — sorry — at dealing with PTSD, but choosing the “Scream” franchise to discuss generational trauma is a weird vehicle to pick when there’s a psychotic, knife-wielding serial killer dropping bodies every few minutes.
Lumbering along while fatally wounded, this is a franchise that doesn’t know it is dead, staggering ever onward without an ending in sight. Perhaps Sidney is right: This isn’t going to stop unless she stops it.
Release info
“Scream 7,” a Paramount Pictures release that hits theaters today, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for strong bloody violence, gore and language. Running time: 114 minutes.
Anatolian Kitchen brings the unique flavors of homestyle Turkish cuisine to Palo Alto’s California Avenue.
Owner Dino Tekdemir says the homey recipes come straight from his mom and his native village, Diyarbakir, which is in a Kurdish area in the southeastern part of Turkey.
“It’s like what we’re eating at home, like mother cooks,” he said. He grew up on a farm where his family raised cows and sheep and grew their own vegetables. For his restaurant, Tekdemir is passionate about bringing that fresh perspective to his California Avenue kitchen, as well as sharing the authentic flavors of his native country.
Fresh tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and eggplants have a large role to play, as do herbs and spices like paprika and dried reyhan, a Turkish variety of purple basil known for its complex, aromatic flavor.
While Tekdemir also co-owns Barbayani Greek Taverna in Los Altos and Portola Bistro in Portola Valley, Anatolian Kitchen was his first, his baby. After coming to America he worked as a janitor, server and finally manager at Piacere in San Carlos. But in 2010, he realized his dream of opening his own restaurant. Anatolian Kitchen served diners for almost 12 years at 2323 Birch St. In 2022, after emerging from the pandemic, Tekdemir saw that demand for his healthy homestyle cuisine remained strong, and he re-opened the restaurant on Cal Ave. in late 2022.
Not sure what to order? The menu offers a delicious array of hot and cold appetizers, kebabs, wraps and other items. Vegetarians will find plentiful options, including a stuffed eggplant entree and a veggie moussaka. Customers rave about the house-made doner – flavorful lamb and beef meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, sliced thin and served in a wrap or with rice pilaf and salad. If it’s your first time there, Tekdemir recommends trying a variety of flavors at once by ordering the mixed appetizer platter or mixed grill entree, a meat-lover’s dream that offers
chicken and lamb shish kebabs, doner, chicken and lamb adana kebabs and kofte (ground beefand-lamb patties).
The restaurant also offers handcrafted artisan cocktails, beers and a diverse selection of wines, including several Turkish and Greek vintages Californians aren’t used to seeing. And of course raki, the anise-flavored brandy that’s Turkey’s national drink.
The restaurant loves to host their patrons’ social or business events and the restaurant can host up to 40 people. They also offer an unforgettable private catering experience, where their chefs, servers and bartenders can come to your location, preparing delicious fare and taking care of your every need while you enjoy your occasion.
Sweet tooths take note: Save room for traditional desserts, including the kunefe (a sweet cheese pastry with honey syrup and ice cream) and the baked butternut squash, served with tahini, homemade whipped cream and walnuts.
Anatolian Kitchen is open for lunch and dinner every day. For more information and to make reservations, go to anatoliankitchen.com.
Netflix is declining to raise its offer to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming business, in a stunning move that effectively puts Paramount in a position to take over its storied Hollywood rival.
Yesterday, after Warner’s board announced that Skydance-owned Paramount’s offer was superior to the agreement it had previously struck with Netflix, the streaming giant said the new price it would
have to pay to acquire Warner would make the deal “no longer financially attractive.”
Not a ‘must have’ Netflix’s co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said in a joint statement the transaction was “always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price.”
Sarandos and Peters also thanked Warner leadership. War-
ner had repeatedly backed the deal it struck with Netflix since December — and even when announcing that Paramount’s latest offer was superior earlier yesterday, the company said its board stood by its previous recommendation in favor of Netflix.
Yesterday’s news arrived after Paramount upped its rival bid for the entire company to $31 per share, in addition to other revisions.

The Milan Cortina Olympics averaged 23.5 million viewers in the United States, making them the most-watched Winter Games since 2014 with a 96% larger audience than the Beijing Games four years ago.
NBCUniversal said the average includes combined audiences on NBC, Peacock, CNBC, USA Network and other digital platforms. It covered the live afternoon (2-5 p.m. EST) and
prime-time (8-11 p.m. EST/PST) windows.
The figures are based on Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel ratings (through Feb. 19), Nielsen’s early figures for the final three days (Feb. 20-22) and digital data from Adobe Analytics.
NBC broadcast the Super Bowl, the Olympics and the NBA All-Star Game in February, the first time a network had all three in one month.
in stores until police cleared the scene. Ginsberg was arrested the next day at his job in Santa Clara after his old boss at Fleming’s showed police officers threatening text messages from Ginsberg.
Officers allegedly found a second handgun, a bulletproof vest, a stun gun and more gun parts in Ginsberg’s apartment.
Ginsberg had a notebook listing people he knew with notations next to their names — like “MM” for “mind manipulation” and “PGA” for “possible government agent.”
Ginsberg initially told police that he went to Palo Alto to go to the Patio, but he forgot his wallet and went home.
But later in the interview, Ginsberg admitted to firing the “warning shots” out of frustration, police said.
This wasn’t Ginsberg’s first alleged gun crime. In June 2019, he called police to his apartment in Campbell because he said he heard a woman being attacked by two men in the apartment below him. But when police officers knocked on the apartment below, nobody came to the door and the lights were off, the police report said.
Ginsberg’s heart rate was high and his pupils were dilated, and officers found a recently used glass meth
pipe in his apartment. He told them he had a loaded handgun that he usually keeps in a safe, police said.
Ginsberg was arrested and later pleaded guilty to possessing drugs while having a loaded firearm.
Ginsberg was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in a residential treatment program and was banned from possessing a gun or ammo, court records show.
The gun Ginsberg used in the Fleming’s shooting was a “ghost gun” that was unregistered and assembled from parts that were ordered online, police said.
Mental health request denied Judges denied two requests by Ginsberg’s attorney to get mental health treatment instead of jail time.
“This was not criminally driven conduct, it was conduct driven by psychosis, made far worse by drug use,” Dr. Carolyn Murphy said in her analysis for the court. “Mental illness does not respond to punishment or consequences, it responds to treatment.”
Ginsberg will be sentenced on April 9.
project is great and will not affect any neighborhoods.
Councilwoman Robin Pang-Maganaris said the project was “gorgeous” and is her favorite one since being on council.
Councilwoman Gina Latimerlo said she wished the developer would work with the city’s shuttle system.
“If we can get cars off the road, let’s do it,” Latimerlo said.
The project will remove 157 trees, but will plant
166. There was previous concern about the safety of wildlife, especially during the project’s construction. But the Environmental Impact Report said the project will not affect any wildlife.
This project is just one of many life science projects proposed or approved between Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City. Redwood City has been mulling over a 2.5-million-square-foot life science project in Redwood Shores. The project proposed for 800 Bridge Parkway in Redwood City is planned for 11 buildings.
because they were Jewish, and instances in which teachers discriminated against them. When parents complained, according to the complaint, school officials either ignored their complaints or, in several instances, transferred the Jewish students to another classroom or to independent study, “enabling anti-Semitic hate to be taught in a Jew-free environment, with no one left to object.”
“The problems in K-12 seem to be widespread and deeply troubling,” said L. Rachel Lerman, vice chair of the Brandeis Center. “The parents who joined this lawsuit are not just interested in their own child. They would like to see (antisemitism) addressed systemically, because it affects not just the Jewish kids, but the other kids who are taught to be antisemitic. This contaminates our society and will persist for years if it’s not checked.”
The lawsuit calls for investigating and addressing past misconduct, taking proactive measures to stop future dis-
crimination, and forbidding California’s schools “from being commandeered as centers of antisemitic indoctrination.”
Specific demands for action
The plaintiffs specifically are asking the court to require the state, including the State Board of Education, the Department of Education and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to:
• Publish the number of and statewide data on antisemitism complaints, including appeals to the Department of Education;
• Mandate antisemitism training for all teachers, administrators and academic staff in coordination with the Brandeis Center;
• Make state funding to districts contingent on discrimination-free conduct by students, staff and third-party contractors;
• Appoint an independent monitor with expertise in antisemitism discrimination “for each recalcitrant” district to oversee enforcement of court-ordered reforms, including the half-dozen school districts cited in the complaint;
• Appoint a committee of experts to review all ethnic studies curricula and teacher training that districts have purchased since 2021. That was the year the Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 101, which requires the still unfunded mandate for a semester-long high school course in ethnic studies. The experts would also enforce an AB101 provision that requires districts not to use any portions of the first draft of the voluntary Model Ethnic Studies Curricula that Newsom and the state board rejected as biased and discriminatory.
Oversight fought
Pro-Palestinian teacher advocates and legal organizations, together with the California Teachers Association, successfully fought inclusion of several of these oversight requirements, including the vetting of ethnic studies curricula and outside ethnic studies contractors, in Assembly Bill 715, which took effect on Jan. 1. It reinforces current anti-discrimination laws that ban biased instruction and professional development, and will create an Office of Civil Rights and an Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator to develop antisemitism resources and strategies.
Opponents likely will strongly oppose the Brandeis Center’s proposals. They argue that many Jews conflate opposition to the Israeli conduct of the war in Gaza with antisemitism in an
effort to squelch teachers’ freedom to discuss Mideast controversies. Attorney Jenin Younes, the national legal director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, reiterated that position yesterday in response to the lawsuit. Her organization “condemns all kinds of racial, religious, and ethnic hatred, but we are very aware that allegations of antisemitism are used to suppress criticism of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, and to erase Palestinian identity, expression and existence,” she wrote in an email.
“While some of the allegations, if true, reflect actual antisemitism, some are quite clearly about criticism of Israel and Zionism, and the plaintiffs have opted to settle these questions via judicial fiat rather than debate and discussion, furthering AB715’s chilling effect on speech,” Younes continued.
The lawsuit refers several times to the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, which some authors of the banned first draft of the state’s model curriculum have repackaged into an alternative curriculum. Five years later, elements of the “liberated curriculum” are taught in the districts cited in the lawsuit and used in dozens of others. The Palestinian conflict with Israel is a theme of a liberated high school ethnic studies course, which characterizes Israelis as white and Israel as an oppressive settler colonialist nation.
Lerman said that rogue teachers who are violating districts’ rules for teaching controversial subjects or using biased “liberated” curricula that are fostering students’ prejudice.
Escalating tensions after Oct. 7
Antisemitic incidents in California have been on the rise “at a shocking speed in recent years,” the lawsuit said, quoting Newsom, who noted that Jewish hate crimes made up 62.4% of all reported hate crimes attributable to religious bias in 2022.
Since Oct. 7, 2023, and the two-year Israeli army seizure of Gaza, during which tens of thousands of civilians and Hamas soldiers have perished, parents’ formal complaints against the districts have escalated.
Lerman said the center and parents can no longer wait for the state to act.
“California is just chock-full of anti-discrimination statutes — probably the state with the most, and I’m proud of that as a Californian,” she said. “I’m not proud that we're not enforcing them when it comes to antisemitism.”
