Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies

Diverse coalition working to remove political agenda from Ethnic Studies, for curricula that inspire mutual respect, fight racism, and foster balanced analysis.

JUST KEEP WATCHING because it keeps getting more alarming. The activist pipeline in Philadelphia goes far beyond problematic SDP curriculum. The people and institutions that have infiltrated youth in Philadelphia are training “revolutionary activists” to believe in violent resistance against oppressors, and frame America and Jews as the oppressors.

Antisemitism is a symptom. Radical educators who don’t believe in the principles of our country are the disease. Activism and teachings like this are demoralizing students and turning them against their own country and even their own American communities.

To my #gapol colleagues: If you couldn’t vote for the definition of antisemitism the Jewish community begged for, couldn’t condemn Hamas in a resolution, couldn’t condemn phrases like “From the River to the Sea” or “Globalize the Intifada,��� and condemn “AIPAC money,” DON’T YOU DARE express sympathy now. YOUR refusal to listen to the mainstream Jewish community has allowed this to fester.

What if the antidote to extremism and antisemitism starts in the classroom?

NAVI is bringing together leading voices in civic education to explore what's possible when schools refocus on shared principles, constitutional literacy, and constructive disagreement.

Join us on March 17 for “The Civic Values Solution” with Adam Seagrave and Olivia Gross, moderated by Dana Stangel Plowe.

This lawsuit highlights why education grounded in learning, not politics or ideology, is essential for learning.

StandWithUs and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights filed a major lawsuit against the state of California and its education department, exposing horrific antisemitic HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE in public schools where Jewish students were beaten unconscious to chants of "Heil Hitler," choked while being called antisemitic slurs, and told "let's catch the Jew" before being CHASED BY PEERS.

“Jews consistently are being targeted with hostility because of who they are, including in California and particularly in K-12 public schools. This lawsuit seeks to remedy that."

The lawsuit demands immediate cancellation of antisemitic curriculum, mandatory training ABOUT ANTISEMITISM for staff, and financial sanctions against schools that fail to protect Jewish students.

StandWithUs and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights filed a major lawsuit against the state of California and its education department, exposing horrific antisemitic HARASSMENT AND violence in public schools where Jewish students were beaten unconscious to chants of "Heil Hitler," choked while being called antisemitic slurs, and told "let's catch the Jew" before being CHASED BY PEERS.

The explosive lawsuit details how school administrators consistently punished the Jewish victims instead of the perpetrators, including a teacher who mocked the October 7, 2023, massacre with "Free Palestine" posters and Yiddish phrases, and another who displayed artwork showing a fist crushing a Star of David made of barbed wire. “Jews consistently are being targeted with hostility because of who they are, including in California and particularly in K-12 public schools. This lawsuit seeks to remedy that," said Roz Rothstein, CEO and co-founder of StandWithUs.

“The [Ethnic Studies] curriculum ... promotes hate. This initiative is flawed in its lack of historical accuracy & tendency to promote further division and hatred.” - LAUSD student

Why is no one listening to the students? #EthnicStudies

@rowena_chiu asked simple questions in a PAUSD Board meeting about Ethnic Studies curriculum. She was dismissed, cut off, and vilified for daring ask about Liberated curriculum. Support her today by signing here:  https://t.co/Y2jeMIlWcG

After PAUSD superintendent asks for more time to develop ES curriculum, an emergency board meeting was called where only Liberated framework was presented, resulting in a divided board, bullying a trustee, and suppressing dissenting voices. No lessons disclosed to the parents.

CSBA has guidelines for curriculum adoption. Questions to ask your school board trustees. https://t.co/KUzB2DDcgz

Schools are acting. PAUSD Superintendent announced their elective ES course will not become mandatory “until the California legislature both assigns funding and clarifies any additional content requirements.” Share your support! https://t.co/WqTcJ3W60m

#Newsflash ES funding is NOT a part proposed 2025 Budget. Absent changes, ES will NOT be mandatory in the 2025-2026 school year. ”Pausing the funding allows time to get the implementation right and ensure that the legislature's vision for positive, empowering ES is realized.
