Ethnic studies model curriculum mandated for California schools causing division between critical and constructive approaches, especially on contentious issues like Israel and Palestine.
The conflict arises from differing views on whether to focus on power structures and repression (liberated ethnic studies) or a depoliticized version (constructive ethnic studies).
California requires schools to offer ethnic studies but districts have the freedom to choose how to implement based on their curriculums' avoidance of bias or discrimination.
Approvals for the state's ethnic studies model faced delays and criticisms, highlighting the challenge of balancing diverse perspectives within educational systems.
