Eff this guys and his attempts to rebrand himself as some kind of left wing brawler. He's a center right business as usual showman, in the pocket of all the usual wealthy power players, and he'll say whatever he thinks will get him votes while doing what the donor class wants him to do.
Despite that agreement, education groups, the American Civil Liberties Union, and other groups still urged Newsom to veto the bill. The ACLU, in a letter to the governor, claimed the measure contains “vague and overbroad provisions” that will restrict curriculum that is inclusive and historically relevant, create a chilling effect on students and teachers and invite lawsuits. The Council on American-Islamic Relations blasted the bill in a letter to Newsom as “especially harmful to the mental and emotional well-being of Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim youth,” saying AB 715 rendered their stories “invisible and even punishable, deepening feelings of isolation and alienation at a time when they most need affirmation and inclusion.”
Gavin Newsom is trash
The DNC are shitting on their voter bases faces if they think newsom can win a presidential election.
I mean.... isn't that the DNC's entire shtick?
Not sure, but that‘s at least what they argued in court before a judge.
According to the legislative counsel's digest, most of what the bill prohibits is already illegal and the new prohibitions appear to be minor and in line with the existing ones. I'm not familiar enough with California law to judge how accurate that is, but if it is accurate then I'm not sure what exactly the ACLU's objections are. (Their own webpage about the bill contains no details.) Is there an article with specific examples of what could legally be taught before this law was passed but cannot be legally taught now?
There's a lot of stuff in here that can be used to target Gaza occupation protests as hate crimes and a lot of avenues for people uncomfortable with criticism of Israel to report "antisemitism" and enables schools and law enforcement to respond.
Criticism of a government that is committing genocide is NOT the same as hatred toward a race or religion and FUCK the people trying (blatantly or subtly) to redefine things that way with a rake. Advocating for a free Palestine (as a political entity) is NOT the same as hating Jews and trying to say it is is a form of rhetorical violence. This bill wants to help make that state sponsored and give it teeth. You can look through the text and see the places that are designed for exactly that. Not in provocative or objectionable ways, not in a vacuum. But taken in the context of our current political climate, it's not hard to see.
This bill would establish the Office of Civil Rights, under the administration of the Government Operations Agency, with the purpose of working directly with local educational agencies to prevent and address discrimination and bias, as specified. The bill would require the Director of the Office of Civil Rights to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The bill would require the Office of Civil Rights, in consultation with the State Department of Education and under the supervision of the Government Operations Agency, to, among other things, (A) provide education and educational resources to identify and prevent antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and bias, (B) share relevant laws and regulations with educational state agencies, school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and community stakeholders, and (C) annually submit a report to the Government Operations Agency, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the executive director of the State Board of Education, and the Legislature on the state of discrimination and bias in all local educational agencies, as specified. The bill would also require the Office of Civil Rights to employ the Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The bill would require the Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator to, among other things, develop, consult, and provide antisemitism education to school personnel to identify and proactively prevent antisemitism and to make recommendations, in coordination with the executive director of the state board, to the Legislature on legislation necessary for the prevention of antisemitism in educational settings
Without designating officers to protect any other groups (many of which experience far higher rates of discrimination).
