“Systems of Power”: CA Ethnic Studies Program Continues to Radicalize Students

Controversy has reared its head again in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) in California. The district recently convened a special board meeting to deliberate on its Ethnic Studies curriculum and the potential renewal of a contract with Community Responsive Education (CRE). As I reported last month, the State of California previously rejected the draft Ethnic Studies curriculum co-authored by CRE founder and director Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, which was deemed to promote antisemitism and neo-Marxist ideology.

How a New “Ethnic Studies” Curriculum Promotes Anti-Semitism in California

Since the October 7, 2023, massacre perpetrated on Israeli citizens by Hamas, with the subsequent response by Israel to declare war and enter the Gaza Strip to defeat Hamas, overt anti-Semitic sentiment has erupted on college campuses across America. Citing reports of “widespread antisemitic harassment,” the U.S. Department of Education is now actively investigating 60 institutions of higher learning. Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is also playing out in K-12 education, particularly in a number of Northern California school districts like Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD), Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), and Menlo Park City School District (MPCSD). These and other districts are embroiled in controversy over California’s Ethnic Studies curriculum mandate. Many Californians are aware that in October 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom Read More ›

The Majority of Kids Would Outgrow Gender Disorders if They Don’t Transition

On August 26, a federal appeals court ruled 2-1, allowing Florida the ability to enforce a ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgeries on minor-age children. The May 2023 law had previously been deemed unconstitutional in June 2024 by a federal district court. Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the ruling, which has now resulted in victory.

New California Law Prohibits Schools from Telling Parents Their Child Is Trans

Political progressives apparently think that school administrators and teachers should have a greater say than parents in the raising and treatment of children experiencing gender dysphoria.
