Gov. Newsom Signs California Antisemitic Ethnic-Studies Bill Into Law

9

Between the lockdowns, cutting off power to perceived COVID violators, and imposing an anti-Jew curriculum – Newsom is going full on Nazi.

Now Boycott the Jews and anti-Zionist advocacy is part of their cademic programming and classrooms; and faculty support and promotion of BDS (boycott Jews) are linked to the harassment of Jewish students.

Gov. Newsom Signs California Ethnic-Studies Bill Into Law

JNS.org – California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Monday to require an ethnic-studies course requirement for matriculation from California State University (CSU), starting with the 2021-22 school year.

Spearheaded by the AMCHA Initiative, 90 education, civil-rights and religious groups had called on Newsom to veto the bill, AB-1460.

The organizations noted an important distinction between the broad field of ethnic studies—with its goal of understanding and celebrating the contributions of the state and country’s diversity—and the narrow field of “Critical Ethnic Studies” referenced in AB-1460.

The groups noted that vetoing AB-1460 was necessary because anti-Zionist advocacy and the promotion of BDS are an intrinsic part of critical ethnic studies; critical ethnic-studies faculty have repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to promote BDS and anti-Zionist advocacy in their academic programming and classrooms; and faculty support and promotion of BDS are linked to the harassment of Jewish students.

“Given the political biases of the critical ethnic-studies courses on college campuses, we are particularly troubled that AB-1460 could lead to further exclusion of, and discrimination against, Jewish students on campus, exacerbating a pattern of isolation and ostracization of Jews that has become far too commonplace,” said American Jewish Committee Director of Campus Affairs Zev Hurwitz.

AMCHA Initiative Co-Founder and Director Tammi Rossman-Benjamin told JNS that her organization is “deeply disappointed” that Newsom signed the bill into law and called on CSU to institute “safeguards” against “anti-Zionist propaganda and BDS.”

“It is unfortunate that the governor chose to dismiss the voices of the CSU administration, academic senate and many faculty members who called on him to veto AB-1460 and support CSU’s proposal instead,” StandWithUs Co-Founder and CEO Roz Rothstein told JNS. “We understand that there was going to be an ethnic-studies graduation requirement at CSU with or without this bill.”

Rothstein went on to say that “it is now even more imperative that CSU ensures the requirement is implemented in a way that uplifts students and combats hate, rather than reproducing the anti-Israel and antisemitic bias of some prominent ethnic studies faculty members.”

I was about ten years old during this time. I can remember my Dad saying he’s right. There was even more evidence when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Verona papers were exposed.

SEN JOE MCCARTHY IS NOT LAUGHING BUT I THINK HE IS IN A BETTER POSITION IN THE NEXT LIFE THAN HIS ENEMIES ARE! FACT IS HIS BASIC PREMISE WAS PROVEN TO BE TRUE AND HE WAS A WARRIOR AS WELL AS MARTYR!
THE GOP SHOULD HAVE STOOD BY HIM! HE WAS NOT ALWAYS ASTUTE IN ALL HIS ACTIONS AS A GRANDSTANDER BUT HE GOT ATTENTION LIKE REP MARTIN DIES JR IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WHO MADE THE HOUSE UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE MEAN SOMETHING WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANTI-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE! FACT IS SEN JOE MCCARTHY WAS BETRAYED AS HE DID MORE GOOD TO THE REPUBLICANS THAN HARM WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO BE PUBLICLY CONDEMNED/CENSURED BUT JUST TOLD HIM TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE COMMITTEE AND DEAL WITH HIS PERSONAL ISSUES! THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND CARRY THEIR WOUNDED!
SEN MCCARTHY WAS ON HIS WAY TO FIGURING OUT ABOUT THE GLOBALISTS AND HIS DEMISE BY PURPOSEFUL MEDICAL MALPRACTICE WAS MURDER! I ALLEGE HIS WIFE WAS A B-TCH AFTER HIS MONEY WHO COOPERATED IN HIS MURDER WITH THE DARK GLOBALIST FORCES WHO RECOGNIZED HIM AS A THREAT AND SET HIM UP TO HUMILIATE HIM! SEN MCCARTHY DESERVED BETTER THAN WHAT HE GOT! GOD REST HIS SOUL AS WELL AS THAT OF REP MARTIN DIES JR WHO SHOULD HAVE CHAIRED DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON IN 1960 THEN RUN AS A REPUBLICAN FOR SENATE AND NOT JUST GIVEN UP ON HIS POLITICAL CAREER LIKE HE DID! ONE THING ABOUT SEN MCCARTHY, HE WOULDN’T HAVE JUST GIVEN UP WHILE THERE WAS FIGHT LEFT IN HIM AND IT GOT HIM KILLED!

Gruesome. He is stupid. If the arabs and the left want something he and the Dems are there to give it to them. The colleges desperately need adult supervision. But, with this requirement of ethnic studies will not be a studies class but a one sided referendum against Israel and most likely the West in general. We are going down the toilet as a society.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE WAS A SCHOOL CALLED ETHNOLOGY THAT WAS RELATED TO ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY THAT EXISTED AS AN ACCREDITED MAJOR THAT WAS DONE AWAY WITH AS A WHOLE FIELD OF STUDY DUE TO CIVIL RIGHTS CONCERNS IN THE EARLY TO MID 1960’s. SUFFICE TO SAY THE STATISTICS THEY DEALT WITH WEREN’T TOO FAVORABLE TOWARD A RANGE OF MINORITIES! FACT IS SOCIOLOGY AND ALL THE LIBERAL ARTS STUDIES HAVE BEEN HOPELESSLY SKEWED BY THE LEFT! RATHER THAN BAN THE MAJOR, ZIONIST ORGS SHOULD PRESSURE THE SCHOOLS THEMSELVES TO NOT OFFER THE OBJECTIONABLE COURSES AND HIGHLIGHT WHAT IS OBJECTIONABLE TO STUDENTS AND ESPECIALLY OBJECTIONABLE LECTURERS/TEACHERS, ETC!
THE SCHOOL IN QUESTION IS A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SYSTEM AND I DON’T BELIEVE SUCH COURSES SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY ANY TYPE OF FINANCIAL AID WHICH IS PAID FOR BY EVERYBODY BUT I DON’T AGREE WITH JUST BANNING THE PROGRAM BY GOVERNMENT ENTITIES! I THINK THE ZIONIST COMMUNITY SHOULD PUSH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON THE AID QUESTION AND USE CANARY ISLAND, ETC TO ADVERTISE THE OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL AS WELL AS TO PRESSURE THE DEANS OF COLLEGE DEPTS ABOUT HAVING OBJECTIVE PROFS TEACH THE MATERIAL! WHAT IS NEEDED ON CAMPUS ARE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN STUDENT CLUBS THAT WOULD SERVE AS A DIALOGUE POINT FOR CONSERVATIVE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN STUDENTS THAT WOULD ALSO FIGHT STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE, ETC! WE ON THE RIGHT HAVE TO ALLOW WHAT OFFENDS US SOMETIMES TO BE TRUE TO OUR PRINCIPLES! SUPER SUMMER RIGHTISTS!
