StandWithUs and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights filed a major lawsuit against the state of California and its education department, exposing horrific antisemitic HARASSMENT AND violence in public schools where Jewish students were beaten unconscious to chants of "Heil Hitler," choked while being called antisemitic slurs, and told "let's catch the Jew" before being CHASED BY PEERS.
The explosive lawsuit details how school administrators consistently punished the Jewish victims instead of the perpetrators, including a teacher who mocked the October 7, 2023, massacre with "Free Palestine" posters and Yiddish phrases, and another who displayed artwork showing a fist crushing a Star of David made of barbed wire. “Jews consistently are being targeted with hostility because of who they are, including in California and particularly in K-12 public schools. This lawsuit seeks to remedy that," said Roz Rothstein, CEO and co-founder of StandWithUs.
The lawsuit demands immediate cancellation of antisemitic curriculum, mandatory training ABOUT ANTISEMITISM for staff, and financial sanctions against schools that fail to protect Jewish students.
