[IsraelTimes] Leading Jewish groups seek to block ethnic studies courses at Orange County schools, claiming board illegally avoided notifying public, referred to issue as ’the Jewish question’
Leading US Jewish groups on Monday said they had filed a lawsuit against a large Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, school district alleging the school’s board covertly approved anti-Israel curricula, deliberately depriving the Jewish community and others of their legal right to weigh in on the controversial lesson plans.
The lawsuit against Orange County’s Santa Ana Unified School District sought to overturn the curricula, in the latest salvo in a years-long battle over the handling of the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict, and Jewish American representation, in ethnic studies courses in California schools. |
