California’s bid to curb antisemitism in schools faces its first legal challenge
A new California law aimed at combating antisemitism in schools faces a federal lawsuit, with critics claiming it stifles free speech. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee argues the law's vague definition of antisemitism forces educators to self-censor, potentially limiting discussions on Israel and Zionism. Supporters, however, cite rising hostility towards Jewish students as justification for the measure.
