California’s K-12 Schools Promoting Antisemitism to Children
“Teachers instructing students of all ages that Israelis are responsible for the massacre of their own families on Oct. 7.”
This is truly sickening. These people should be removed from classrooms immediately.

The trickle-down effect: Antisemitism seeps into California’s K-12 schools
Throughout California and other states, we are seeing a wave of antisemitism directed at children in kindergarten through 12th grade similar to the one that has overwhelmed college campuses since Oct. 7.
After the day that Hamas massacred, tortured and kidnapped Israeli civilians, including babies and young children, the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and other Jewish groups began receiving scores of calls from parents, especially from the Bay Area, alarmed by what their children were experiencing.
They’ve told us about:
• Second-graders being directed to write “stop bombing babies” on sticky notes and placing them on the door of their elementary school’s only Jewish teacher.
• Teachers encouraging middle school and high school students to walk out during the school day to “march for Gaza” without notice to parents or any of the usual safety protocols.
• Jewish students being forced to decide whether to stay behind or to join the rallies and listen to their peers shout, “Gas the Jews!” as well as “KKK” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” meaning free of Jews.
• Teachers instructing students of all ages that Israelis are responsible for the massacre of their own families on Oct. 7.
• Schools moving Jewish students whose parents complain about antisemitic teaching, allowing the teachers to continue indoctrinating the rest of the class and leaving the Jewish students feeling isolated, marginalized and ostracized while navigating mid-semester schedule disruptions.
All of this continues through today.
Last month, the Brandeis Center and the Anti-Defamation League filed a complaint against the Berkeley Unified School District with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, asking them to investigate the scores of antisemitic instances that have plagued the district since Oct. 7.
In addition, the Brandeis Center and ADL, with help from StandWithUs and volunteers from four law firms — Covington & Burling, Dechert, Akin and Davis Polk — have opened a helpline for parents.

So the California public schools are run by UNRWA staff and “curriculum” now ?
CA public sector teacher union was single biggest donor to gov newscum’s election campaign.
He took the money and spent it, he sold out long time ago.
Due to a combination of my aging eyesight and the small type on my phone, I originally misread the headline as “promoting absenteeism to children.” But that’s a sterling alternative.
I thought nothing could surprise me, but my brain went “*bzzzt*” and I swore out loud upon reading:
“Second-graders being directed to write ‘stop bombing babies’ on sticky notes and placing them on the door of their elementary school’s only Jewish teacher.”
*Bzzzt*. I cannot read that bullet w/o a full-body response. *Surely* this must be false! *Surely* the pics must be deepfakes? Right? Right ?! But then:
A spokesperson for the BUSD Jewish Parents for Collective Liberation [oi vey] called the complaint a “defamatory piece of creative writing mischaracterizing the call for Palestinian human rights, or Palestinians’ right to live, as somehow dangerous, or threatening to Jewish students.”
[Belittle and minimize much?]
“It was not antisemitic for second-graders to write ‘stop bombing babies’ on sticky notes,” the group wrote. “Who disagrees with that message?”
[Slickly sneering sleaze, that last bit.]
“The sticky notes were not targeting a Jewish teacher but were posted on a bulletin board that happened to be outside a Jewish teacher’s classroom.”
[Correction: Not A Jewish teacher’s door; THE Jewish teacher’s door.]
WTF? WTLF?!? “… that happened to be…” Oopsy! Our bad; sorries!
Sounds like a slam-dunk case for “hostile working environment.” Sue them.
Here’s a crazy idea:
Maybe when they say — repeatedly — “Death to the Jews” maybe they mean it.
This is brainwashing that combines the worst of Communism and Nazism 21st Century sty;e
