In fact, the only group that experienced more hate crimes last year were Latinos, whose population in the state is much higher. The number of hate crimes against Muslims was less than half that of those against Jews.
It could be seen as an oversight if there weren’t other, distinct signs of anti-Jewish bias in this curriculum meant to address issues of ethnic history, misunderstanding and prejudice. In fact, the signs are so apparent that Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside, author of ain California high schools, has joined with other legislators in signing a letter that shreds the curriculum.
But in too many places, this curriculum seems designed to proselytize a specific set of beliefs rather than expand understanding among groups. In fact, it’s one of the most problematic things to have come out of Sacramento on education, and that’s saying something.
It’s also remarkable that Israel is singled out in this way. What about nations that deprive women of basic rights and religious groups of the right to practice their beliefs? If this is a course about international rights controversies, it is woefully noninclusive.
