CAIR-CA: Dems tackle controversy over ethic studies curriculum – Capitol Weekly
A day after AB 1468 was introduced, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ California branch put out a statement urging the bill’s defeat.
“This bill is part of a broader right-wing effort to suppress discussions on race, history, and global justice. If passed, it would place curriculum decisions in the hands of politicians instead of educators, silencing vital conversations on human rights and social justice,” CAIR California said under the headline “Tell Your Representatives to Vote NO on AB 1468.”
CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area office said on its Instagram account that the bill “seeks to redefine Ethnic Studies on political terms, diluting its integrity and erasing critical histories such as the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestine and the genocide in Gaza,” and deemed it a “MAGA-like attack on ethnic studies in California.”
