California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law aimed at combating antisemitism in schools, a move many educators have warned could lead to censorship and the targeting of pro-Palestine voices. The legislation would create an “Office of Civil Rights” that will provide training to school staff to identify what they believe is antisemitism. In a statement to the Associated Press, Theresa Montaño with the California Faculty Association said, “Teacher discourse on Palestine or the genocide in Gaza will be policed, misrepresented, and reported to the antisemitism coordinator.”
