California is sued by Jewish advocacy groups seeking to stop antisemitism in schools

"The suit by Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights and StandWithUs - nonprofits focused on Jewish civil rights - was filed on behalf of at least 12 Jewish parents and students who say they have faced "pervasive anti-Semitism in their California public schools," court documents said."

"The lawsuit alleges the state has violated the California Constitution's equal protection and free exercise clauses, which prohibit discrimination by a state-governed entity against certain religious groups. The suit seeks a court order that would require California to monitor on-campus antisemitism, eliminate antisemitic curricula and impose limits on funding for schools that fail to enforce nondiscrimination policies."

"The suit alleges eight K-12 school districts - including Los Angeles Unified, San Francisco Unified, Berkeley Unified, Fremont Unified and Oakland Unified - allowed antisemitism to "fester" on their campuses, actions the state did not intervene to stop."

Two Jewish civil rights nonprofits, the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights and StandWithUs, filed a lawsuit against California, its Department of Education, and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond on behalf of at least 12 Jewish parents and students. The suit alleges the state violated constitutional equal protection and free exercise clauses by allowing antisemitic harassment to persist unchecked in public schools. Eight K-12 districts are named, including Los Angeles Unified, San Francisco Unified, Berkeley Unified, Fremont Unified, and Oakland Unified. The lawsuit seeks court orders requiring California to monitor antisemitism on campuses, eliminate antisemitic curricula, and impose funding limits on schools failing to enforce nondiscrimination policies. Specific incidents cited include Jewish students being forced to attend celebrations of Hamas attacks.
