As a draft of the California’s first high school ethnic studies curriculum enters revision, state schools Superintendent Tony Thurmond is asking the commission writing it to include experiences of Jewish Americans and other communities that legislators and civic groups say are missing or skewed in the current draft.

Jewish groups in California are finally waking up to the fact that many on the left, especially those affiliated with Muslim groups, don't particularly like them. Calling Congresswoman Omar. Anyhow California government what a Charlie Foxtrot.

If they were serious about teaching “Ethnic Studies” they would drop the Kids off in South Central or East LA and let them walk around after dark.

California is an enemy state.
They are much much more dangerous than the Russians could ever be.

I had an accounting instructor back in the 1990s and he told me and others that he and a friend went down to L.A. and they walked down either Hollywood or Sunset Boulevard at night (presumably in the Hollywood area). They found doing something like that even in that area was that good bit intimidating and scary, let alone in South Central or East Los Angeles.

I hate to break the news to Jews but they are NO LONGER NEEDED by the Democrat Party. But they should feel good, their hatred of Republicans kept the Democrat Party financed through many tough years, when anyone looking at their candidates and their positions would have LAUGHED THEM OUT immediately as a mainstream political party.

Now, as their kids join Asian kids, and are told their kids are no longer welcome at top universities, they can over here and whine, but I doubt they will help us any more than that - they still hate us.

(obviously I’m talking about the 70% or so of Democrats in the US, not the other 30%, and it sucks that I even need to post this disclaimer)

How about we dump all the hoo ha studies and go back to just the 3 Rs.
