california schools newsom antisemitism.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee is challenging a new California law designed to protect Jewish students from discrimination. The federal complaint filed Sunday argues the law is unconstitutionally vague and violates free speech rights. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the legislation last month, creating an Office of Civil Rights to help schools identify and prevent antisemitism. The law doesn’t define antisemitism, leading to concerns that educators might face charges for presenting materials critical of Israel. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of individual teachers and students in California public schools, and the Los Angeles Educators for Justice in Palestine.
