CSU Ethnic Studies Curriculum Review |
California is in the process of adopting a first-in-the-nation mandatory ethnic studies curriculum. The legislation for the CSU campuses and for high schools was passed. The contents of the curriculum for high schools is not yet finalized. The original draft of the HS curriculum was very problematic for Jews. After over 18,000 negative comments sent to the Dept of Education via the "IQC," the "Instructional Quality Commission") and a new curriculum was proposed in August (Click here to read) However, there are significant problems with this second draft (refer to analysis by StandWithUs among others), and in addition, the Superintendent of Instruction "recommended" changes at the last minute that eroded confidence in the good faith of the drafters and the ultimate outcome of the process.

Proposition 15: The lack of funding for California’s schools and essential local services is a profound problem in California. Is Proposition 15 a good solution? What does the measure actually do? What Jewish perspectives might inform this vote?
RAC-CA is not taking a pro or con position on Prop. 15, rather we are planning our biggest action yet to shed light on the proposition and the issues it addresses with clear information, Jewish wisdom, and dialogue. RAC-CA’s Forum on Prop 15 will be on Tuesday, October 6 at 7 p.m.

LGBTQ in Israel: When Tel Aviv Meets the Rabbinate
Matan Zamir Deputy Consul General in SF grew up in Jerusalem where his family has lived for nine generations. He is a lawyer; he received his L.L.B. from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 2008 and like any passionate Israeli, Matan enjoys his basketball, and upon moving to San Francisco he became a proud Golden State fan. Zamir and his American partner Dylan Chuilli, are excited to be in San Francisco and the couple, who are avid wine connoisseurs, enjoy exploring California's wine country. As an interfaith couple — Chuilli is a non-practicing Christian — Zamir told the Bay Area Reporter during an interview earlier this month that he looks forward to working with the San Francisco Bay Area's large interfaith community.
