Calif. Dept of Education to Scrap Proposed Ethnic Studies Curriculum

Hat tip Amcha Initiative

A few days ago, we posted an article about a proposed ethnic studies curriculum being considered by the California Department of Education. Predictably, the curriculum is  little more than leftist dogma, but it also contained troubling indoctrination about so-called Israeli, Zionist oppression of Palestinians. This type of indoctrination has already led to a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic problems on our university campuses.  In response, thousands of letters of concern were sent to the Department of Education.

There is good news to report. The Department of Education has concluded that the proposed curriculum needs to be scrapped and that they need to go back to the drawing boards.

As pointed out by the Amcha Initiative, it is too soon to declare victory. We are still dealing with leftists here including some who are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. We need to remain vigilant, pay attention to the next proposal, and, if needed, write more letters.
