California school that tried to cover up her alleged anti -Semitic Ethnic study program It is no longer allowed to teach the curriculum, according to the settlement achieved between school and Jewish advocacy groups.

Santa Ana Unified School District (Sausd) agreed to pay a lawsuit launched by Brandeis Center, a defamation league (ADL) and the US Jewish Committee (AJC), who claimed that the courses of ethnic studies were developed in secret and full of anti -Semitism.

As part settlementSausd will stop teaching the world’s geography of ethnic studies, world history of ethnic studies and ethnic studies: perspectives, identity and social justice until courses are reworked in accordance with public contributions and in accordance with the Laws on the Open Meeting of California.

Marci Miller, Director of the Legal Investigation of the Brandeis Center, who in that case the prosecutor and MP, supervised the lawsuit and negotiated the settlement.

“We hope that this will be a cautious story for other school districts who are considering this type of misconduct. We look and we are ready to implement the law,” she said. “The curriculum cannot be created secretly. It must be available to the public and parents to avoid it in the future.”

When he arrived for the comment, Sausd said that he was glad that he had reached a friendly decision of the lawsuit filed by Brandeis Center, but added that there were some “wrong perceptions” that led to the filing of a lawsuit that was now cleared, according to a statement attributed to the superior Jerry Almendarez.

“At no point, the district has supported the teaching of content teaching to students who are negatively reflected in any group based on religion, race, ethnicity or national origin, as is reportedly in a lawsuit,” he said. “Moving this lawsuit confirms that the principle and resolves any misunderstanding that could happen.”

As part of the settlement agreement, the school district said there was no finding that he had violated the Brown Law, the California Law on Open Meeting, as allegedly in a lawsuit. The District also said that “the work of the Ethnic Studies Committee was preserved and may continue to contribute to the public because the courses will be reviewed and possibly modified.”

But James Pasch, Vice -President of the ADL for national litigation, said that the last board of Santa Ana was the past board and the members of the Committee knew that anti -Semitism infected their curriculum process and intentionally excluded the public.

“There are open -minded laws to prevent exactly what happened in Santa Ani,” he said. “This case sends a message-not only in Santa Ani, from the coast to the coast-to-be if school leaders teach the implementation of the anti-Semitic curriculum and the material violating the law, we will use the community protection courts.”

The ethnic school administrator claimed that some Jewish Americans have “control over systemical power”

Sausd also agreed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict recognized as a controversial question and strictly adhere to on Two policies which are applied when teaching under this banner.

As a result, instructions should be based on facts that allow alternative attitudes, ensure that teachers talk about all sides of a controversial issue and that they are membership presented, that students teach themselves the separation of the facts from facts and that no teacher or speaker uses the classroom or materials to advocate their religious, political, economic or social views.

In addition, the controversial board of directors will be permanently dissolved, the district will stop working with an external advisor who has expressed anti -Semitic views, and Sausd will make the public contribution from the members of the public before any new courses of the show to the School Board for approval, according to the Brandeis Center. The anti -Semitic content will be removed from the world’s history of ethnic studies, so the course can continue to be taught by the end of the school year.

A lawsuitOriginally submitted in September 2023, it was filed against Sausd on behalf of Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights under the Law, which acts on the improvement of civil and human rights of Jewish people, and its membership, South California for impartial education (SO-CUE).

ADL, together with the Brandeis Center, AJC and the Covington & Burling law firm, submitted a proposal with a new evidence in August 2024, stating that the school district prevented the public, especially the Jewish community, to make a public comment to prevent a public comment to prevent a public comment to prevent public comments in order to prevent public comment prevented a public comment to provide a public comment on a public comment to make anti -Semitic and biased content In his ethnic studies.

According to the Brown Law, California Law on Open Meeting and AB 101, who passed in 2021 And they have done ethnic studies with a request for graduation from all public high schools in California, the school committees must make the public aware of the proposed teaching programs of the course and enable a public comment before approving any new content. School environments are also needed to create courses without bias, arrogance and discrimination.

Jewish organizations Anti -Semitic statements revealed by the School Board and the Board of Directors for Ethnic Studies Saudsd, which was in charge of the development of the curriculum, through deposits, statements, documents, text messages of IE -Poruk.

Examples discovered during the detection of the lawsuit show that the members of the Board of Directors of Ethnic Studies, Sausd, noted that it was necessary to “solve the Jewish question” when they learned about the concern for anti -Semitism from the Jewish community.

The members of the Board of Directors also said: “Jews are oppressors” and do not belong to ethnic studies, call Jewish organizations “racist” and urged that Sausd was not “cave” their problems. The Committee was also allegedly floating with the idea of ​​using Jewish holidays for the approval of courses to reduce the likelihood that Jews would attend the school board meetings.

According to the proposal, one leader of the committee allegedly called the only Jewish member “colonized Jewish mind” and “F —” for expressing concern for anti-Semitism, while the other leader called the Jewish Federation of Orange Federation as “Rasist Zionist” and suggested that Koisus should not be “coffee” to their representatives. He allegedly refused to call the same representative Hamas with a terrorist organization even after a terrorist attack on October 7th into the hands of Hamas, claiming that it would be “Dehumaniz[ing]”Call Hamas’s” terrorists “members.

This same committee also hired an external advisor whose social media equalized Israel with the “colonialism of immigrants” and actively promoted anti-Israeli bias and anti-Semitism, according to the proposal. “Israel is nothing more than the European colonialism of immigrants who have been drawn by religion by defending white guilt and capitalism,” the advisor advocated social media.

AJC CEO Marc Stern said the lawsuit and a settlement should serve as a warning to other California districts trying to cover up anti-national or anti-Semitic materials of ethnic studies.

“Ethnic studies are only acceptable if they are adopted in the light of day and, if in the end, all sides of the controversial question teach teachers without a judgment,” he said. “The classrooms must be room for education, not an indoctrination.”

Miller explained that every state has an open -ending law similar to Brown’s law. The settlement “shows that, in order to obey the law, everything must be available to the public, and we hope that it should extinguish some light in the process and help the districts to avoid it in the future,” she said.

Vice President Brandeis Center L. Rachel Lerman said that in other school districts she was trying similarly to “dangerous and false behavior”.

“We are watching these jurisdictions and we will not hesitate to get rid of similar violations of the law,” she said. “The school committees must act in the light of day, not” under the radar “, as Sausd described his own behavior.”
