Dear Friends,

We are deeply concerned by a recent draft for a new ethnic studies curriculum proposed by the State of California education board which ignores the Jewish people as a minority group and singles out Israel for criticism. The passage of this draft – the first state-level curriculum on the academic subject in the country - would foster blatant bias against Israel and reinforce anti-Semitic tropes.

Please contact Members of Congress whom you have met, especially those from California or on the House/Senate Education Committees, and urge them to voice their strong disapproval of this very troubling draft for the California State ethnic studies curriculum.

A list of Members on the House Education & Labor Committee can be found here.

A list of Senators on the Senate Health, Education Labor & Pensions Committee can be found here.

Additional Background
In 2016 California enacted a law that updated scholastic requirements to include a mandatory Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum. The Instructional Quality Commission was directed to develop this curriculum to be submitted to the state Board of Education by Dec. 31 this year. The proposed curriculum deals with immigrant communities and minorities in the United States; their history, culture and public perception.

The draft curriculum that is currently being considered by the California Department of Education omits Jews as a minority group. The glossary defines a wide range of terms including Islamophobia, homophobia, xenophobia, dehumanization, microaggression and the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement — but yet completely excludes any mention of anti-Semitism.

Connecting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to American social justice movements, the curriculum includes subtopics such as "Direct Action Front for Palestine and Black Lives Matter"; "Call to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel"; and "Comparative Border Studies: Palestine and Mexico." BDS is included on a "List of Potential Social Movements" recommended for students to research.

In addition, the curriculum is riddled with historical inaccuracies that skew the truth against Israel. In one section, it defines "Israel-Palestine" as a country. In another, recommended song lyrics refer to the "Israeli colony."

The current draft of the curriculum can be viewed online here.

Meanwhile, This Is What LGBTQ Organizations Are Doing to Society - The Dennis Prager Show...My comments The Sin of the Generation of the Flood.

The generation of the Flood was known for its immorality, idol worship and Hamas... translated as robbery and theft.

The earth itself was corrupted.

Isn't it ironic that the LGBTQ movement uses the 🌈 as their symbol reminding us of the Promise G-d made to the world following the Flood. Perhaps they believe that this Covenant will somehow protect them from getting destroyed because of their immoral behavior.

As Jews we must fight this leftist, progressive, socialist agenda permeating society and promoted by the leaders of the Democratic Party in particular who have hijacked the Democratic Party. It has come to the point where the "Democratic Party" betrays American values and ethical moral behavior rather than represent America as the party once did.

This  "Party" is  empowering Islamitization of America and empowered the Quad into elected positions and further empowered them by placing them on committees of influence. They have empowered Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood under the Obama Administration and only by G-d's Grace was Trump elected into office.

Meanwhile, ISIS has morphed into radical Islamic factions and the robbing, kidnapping, raping, torture, genocide of the Yezidi population is ongoing.  This too is an expression of Hamas no different than the generation of the Flood.

We as the Jewish Nation, a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation, can't be insular and expect to be unaffected by such a corrupt  society.

It corrupts the very earth itself!

We can not stand by.  We must challenge and stop this Curriculum in California and in Illinois before the indoctrination takes root.  There is plenty evidence to prove that it is biased and sees history in a lens that basically rewrites history according to the narrative they wish to present.  It rewrites the Holocaust and Genocides etc.  It imposes  "values and morality" that normalizes immorality and leaves G-d out.

It is insufficient to lobby just for private schools. We must lobby for the Torah for society which are the 7 Noahide Laws.

Anavim, Anavim...

This is not a time to be humble...

May Hashem reward us in kind with Peace and Prosperity!




Fwd: ZOA to CA Dept. of Ed: Reject and Revise Anti-Semitic School Curriculum

NEWS RELEASE

                               

ZOA to California Dept. of Ed: Reject and Revise Anti-Semitic School Curriculum

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) strongly urges the California Department of Education to reject the current draft of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC), which is anti-Jewish and anti-Israel, and require that it be revised. 

The current draft curriculum is posted for public comment through August 15, 2019, and so far, it has received many failing grades. (See 'Anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-BDS': California's proposed ethnic studies curriculum gets an F from Jewish caucus, JTA, Aug. 5, 2019.)

To urge community feedback during the public comment period, ZOA issued an Action Alert, which provided an overview of the need-to-know facts about the proposed curriculum, in addition to suggestions of what to do about it.  

It's not too late to help - ACT NOW! 

Yesterday, ZOA National President Morton Klein, Director of ZOA's Center for Law & Justice Susan B. Tuchman, Esq., and Executive Director of ZOA's Western Region David Kadosh sent a letter to the California Department of Education urging it to reject the current draft of the ESMC.

"Jews are essentially not acknowledged as an ethnic group in the ESMC," the letter states, "which makes only a few passing references to Jews. Even worse, we understand from the California Legislative Jewish Caucus' July 29, 2019 letter objecting to the ESMC (with which we fully agree) that the exclusion of Jews was deliberate, reflecting the prejudices of those who drafted the ESMC. It is despicable and unacceptable that anyone's personal biases and prejudices could be incorporated into a school curriculum that is supposed to educate and positively impact students." 

"As the California Legislative Jewish Caucus aptly stated, '[i]t would be a cruel irony if a curriculum meant to help alleviate prejudice and bigotry were to instead marginalize Jewish students and fuel hatred and discrimination against the Jewish community. Without significant edits, the ESMC will do just that.'
"

As the oldest and one of the largest pro-Israel organizations in the U.S., whose mission includes fighting anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias in the media, in schools and on college campuses, we are deeply troubled by the current draft of the ESMC. California students deserve an accurate and balanced understanding of Jews and other ethnic groups.

We are facing serious times and the reason to come join the ranks of PJTN "Watchmen" are vital as never before.  We are an army in a very real war.  We are all unique.  Young people who want to be supportive of Israel and the Jewish people in their generation.  Parents and grandparents of K-12 kids are concerned with their children's future when made aware of the antisemitic, anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian values being presented in their classrooms.  They may have children in college and be frightened by the rise of antisemitism, the BDS movement and pro-Palestine fringe groups on university campuses in America—whether Christian parents who have found their children under a liberal influence that denounces Christian values—or Jewish parents whose kids have been threatened or discriminated against.  Watchmen may be older adults who are just being made aware through the media culture that antisemitism is at crisis stages around us and are concerned at the rise of hatred and the loss of the national values in the America in which they grew up.  We are internationals concerned about the global rise of antisemitism who have found PJTN through our worldwide programming of Focus On Israel.  We are Christians who have read the Bible and know God's mandate to support Israel and our Jewish brethren and want to be found faithful to that call.  We are Jews who fear that the history all too well known is in danger of repeating itself.  No matter the reason people come to PJTN—we share a concern for Israel and the Jewish people—we welcome each new PJTN Watchman and equip them for the battle!

PJTN educates, motivates and activates and YOU make all we do possible.  

Please give your best donation this week—and thank you, in advance, for your vote on Charity Navigator!

Blessings,

Laurie
