Newsom Signs Bill That Targets Antisemitism and Other Discrimination in Schools

Assembly Bill 715 was among the most hotly contested education-related measures, spawning from dissatisfaction, largely among a coalition of Jewish groups, to the way ethnic studies has been taught in some California classrooms.
