California's passage of “liberated” revisions of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is unacceptable! Passage of this propaganda will legislate antisemitism and anti-Israel disinformation in California classrooms.
The new “liberated” curriculum is an antisemitic re-drafted presentation by the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (LESMC) Institute, a for-profit think tank established by the authors of the rejected first draft of California’s proposed studies plan.
PJTN Founder and President Laurie Cardoza-Moore:
“The passage of AB 101 in California will enable the rejected first draft of the ESMC or even more dangerous a new 'liberated' re-draft of this antisemitic material to be peddled by racist, antisemitic liberal Critical Race Theory activists into every classroom within the state. All curricula must be accurate, unbiased and reflect the values of Californians, as well as the State and U.S. Constitutions. This curriculum is antisemitic and biased. The vile hatred of antisemitism and anti-Israel propaganda poses a threat not only to Jewish students and the Jewish community but also to the next generation of our leadership in America—our children—who are threatened with being indoctrinated with this hatred. We must stand and voice our opposition to AB 101.”
PJTN is standing with hundreds of California and out-of-state allies, concerned rabbis, more than 75 religious and civil rights organizations and sister organizations in support of the Jewish community in protesting the passage of AB 101.
