The Wall Street Journal Praises Gavin Newsom for Bucking His Party's Antisemitic Wing'

"The law establishes a new Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator in the state Office of Civil Rights to be appointed by the Governor. This official will train teachers, administrators and local school boards on how to spot, prevent and respond to antisemitism."

"Local school districts will also be required to investigate complaints of antisemitism and take corrective action if they find instructional materials were used in a classroom or an action occurred that resulted in unlawful discrimination.' This could include disciplining teachers who use antisemitic slurs or stereotype."

"Antisemitism on college campuses has drawn attention from the Trump Administration, but public K-12 schools are also a problem. Credit to Mr. Newsom for bucking his union friends, and why not make this more of a habit? the editorial concluded."

The law requires local districts to investigate complaints and take corrective action when instructional materials or actions result in unlawful discrimination, potentially including disciplining teachers who use antisemitic slurs or stereotypes. Opponents include teachers unions and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Antisemitism on college campuses and in public K-12 schools is identified as a continuing problem, and the move marks a departure from union-aligned positions.
