Ethnic studies proposal for high schoolers called leftist, anti-Semitic |
Inaccurate. Misleading. Anti-Jewish. That’s what the California Legislative Jewish Caucus thinks of an ethnic studies curriculum plan that was drafted for high school students in California and is under consideration in Sacramento. The public can still weigh in on the proposed curriculum (deadline is Thursday, Aug. 15), but the initial version has drawn so much backlash that it’s already being sent back for further review.

SF school board reverses course, decides to save controversial mural |
Facing an international outcry, thousands of emails and celebrity opposition to the June decision to destroy a historic school mural, the San Francisco school board reversed course Tuesday, voting to obscure the art with panels or similar materials rather than painting over it. The decision, in a 4-3 vote, means the mural depicting George Washington’s life would survive, but be obscured, at least semi-permanently, from public view.
