"Daniel Klein, CEO of Jewish Silicon Valley, argues that teacher unions are not operating in good conscience in opposing AB 715 to reduce antisemitism. He likens their opposition to that of the segregationists of the 1960s. Klein says the Jewish community is not seeking special treatment, just equal treatment under the law. However, he turns a blind eye to uniquely complex provisions prohibiting an "antisemitic learning environment" and establishing an "Antisemitic Prevention Coordinator" with wide-ranging independent powers."
"Every day, students, staff and faculty spend crucial learning or teaching time circling parking garages, hoping to find a spot. It is stressful, especially for those attempting to balance multiple responsibilities, from work to classes and personal obligations. Even those who pay for costly parking permits face frustration, as having a permit does not guarantee a spot. On top of that, the daily parking rate has gone up, making it even more expensive for students who rely on daily parking."
Daniel Klein claims teacher unions opposed AB 715 in bad conscience and likens their stance to 1960s segregationists while asserting the Jewish community seeks equal treatment. The bill initially included complex prohibitions on an "antisemitic learning environment" and creation of an "Antisemitic Prevention Coordinator" with broad independent powers; those provisions were removed by the California Senate. Teacher unions opposed AB 715 because it threatened their autonomy and authority despite existing anti-discrimination laws. San Jose State University faces growing enrollment without matching parking capacity, causing daily stress and added costs for commuters; proposed remedies include parking expansion, improved shuttles, and adjusted rates.
