California Gov. Gavin Newsom Signs Law Aimed At Fighting Antisemitism In Schools

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law Tuesday aimed at combating antisemitism in schools. The California Legislative Jewish Caucus said the law will help respond to alarming harassment against Jewish students. But critics, including educators and pro-Palestinian advocates, said it could inadvertently obstruct instruction on complex issues in the classroom. “California is taking action to confront hate in all its forms. At a time when antisemitism and bigotry are rising nationwide and globally, these laws make clear: our schools must be places of learning, not hate," Newsom said in a statement. The law creates an Office of Civil Rights with a governor-appointed coordinator who will develop and provide training to help school employees identify and prevent antisemitism. The coordinator has to consult with the State Board of Education to make recommendations to the Legislature on policies to address anti-Jewish discrimination in schools. The new civil rights office could cost the state about $4 million annually, including money for six staffers, according to the Government Operations Agency, which oversees departments in the Newsom administration. Students in public schools nationwide are generally protected against discrimination through state, federal and district policies. But lawmakers in states including Missouri, Vermont and Tennessee have pushed further by introducing legislation aimed specifically at combating antisemitism at K-12 schools. The efforts come amid political tensions in the U.S. over Israel’s war in Gaza. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill earlier this year that would have banned teachers from promoting antisemitism in schools. She said the bill was about attacking teachers, not about combating antisemitism. President Donald Trump's administration has paused or frozen federal funding at colleges, including the University of California, Los Angeles, over allegations that they failed to adequately respond to antisemitism. UC President James B. Milliken has said the cuts, which are being litigated, won't address anti-Jewish acts and that the university system's efforts to address antisemitism went ignored. The Anti-Defamation League, which supports the new law, tracked 860 antisemitic acts reported to the group last year at non-Jewish K-12 schools nationwide. Reports include harassment, vandalism and assault. That's a 26% decrease from the previous year but much higher than the 494 reported in 2022. Lev Miller Ruderman, a Jewish student at San Lorenzo Valley High School near the coastal city of Santa Cruz, said at a legislative hearing that school officials did not take an antisemitic act on campus seriously during his freshman year. Another student used school materials to make a Nazi flag and pinned it to Ruderman’s back, he said. Ruderman walked past numerous students across campus before a teacher asked him about it, he said. “I felt sad, confused and overwhelmed,” said Ruderman, who spent the rest of the school year at home. The civil rights office does not need legislative approval for educational materials for teachers. But some educators have criticized a part of the law requiring that all teacher instruction “be factually accurate” because they say it could unintentionally stifle learning. Many controversial subjects have conflicting facts depending on perspective, said Seth Bramble, a California Teachers Association manager. Not being allowed to teach those facts reinforces rote learning over critical thinking and gives advocates “a new legal tool to disrupt instruction and to threaten educators,” she said. A previous version of the bill set specific requirements for “instructional materials regarding Jews, Israel, or the Israel-Palestine conflict,” including that they be balanced, accurate, don't promote antisemitism and don't label Israel as a settler colonial state. The law no longer references Israel's war in Gaza, but critics have said it could still have a chilling effect and prevent open discussion on contentious issues in the classroom. “Teacher discourse on Palestine or the genocide in Gaza will be policed, misrepresented, and reported to the antisemitism coordinator,” Theresa Montaño with the California Faculty Association said in a statement. Democratic state Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, who co-authored the bill, said in September that lawmakers had to push back against harassment, bullying and intimidation that Jewish students face. “When swastikas are painted on elementary school playgrounds, when a Jewish student has a Nazi flag taped to their back, or is chased and yelled at, we will not turn a blind eye," he said in a statement. “This bill is about affirming safe and supportive learning environments consistent with our state’s values.”

Wall Street's Rally Runs Out; Gold Tops $4,000 Per Ounce

Wall Street’s record-breaking rally is running out of momentum. The S&P 500 dipped 0.4% Tuesday from its latest all-time high and was heading for its first drop in eight days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 149 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.6%. Drops for Tesla and Oracle helped weigh on the market. They offset gains for several stocks benefiting from the continued boom in artificial-intelligence technology. Gold climbed and topped $4,000 per ounce to continue its stellar year amid worries about politics and the potential for high inflation in the future.

Texas National Guard troops arrive at Army reserve center south of Chicago

National Guard members from Texas are at an Army training center in Illinois. It's the most visible sign yet of the Trump administration’s plan to deploy troops to the Chicago area despite a lawsuit and vigorous opposition from Democratic elected leaders. The Associated Press saw military personnel in uniforms with the Texas National Guard patch at the U.S. Army Reserve Center in Elwood in the far southwestern suburbs of Chicago. On Monday, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott posted a picture on social media showing National Guard members from his state boarding a plane, but he didn’t specify where they were going.

Motorists Lift Medical Helicopter To Rescue Woman After Crash On CA Highway

All lanes were open again Tuesday on a highway in California's capital where a medical helicopter crashed, critically injuring three people aboard, including a woman who was pinned underneath and rescued with the help of motorists who lifted part of the aircraft, according to officials. The helicopter landed upside down Monday evening and left debris scattered across State Route 50 east of downtown Sacramento. The aircraft had departed a hospital after dropping off a patient when it experienced an “in-air emergency" and went down just after 7 p.m., said Captain Justin Sylvia with the Sacramento Fire Department. A pilot, nurse and paramedic were taken to hospitals in critical condition, he said. No one on the highway was injured, he said, calling that “mind blowing" given that the helicopter crashed in the center of the eastbound lanes. “People reported that they basically saw the helicopter kind of going down quickly. So all the traffic slowed down,” Sylvia said. An injured woman was trapped underneath the helicopter and a crew from the fire department was able to work with motorists to push the aircraft off and get her into an ambulance. “It took every ounce of all approximately 15 people to move that aircraft up just enough to get her out,” he said. Aimee Braddock was among those who helped. She told KCRA-TV that she rushed to the crash site after seeing the helicopter plummet to the pavement. “As soon as I saw that everybody was moving to try to push the helicopter out to help the first responders get to the passenger, I just ran over and got in the line of people and was just pushing it as much as I could,” Braddock recounted. “Then we held it for several minutes, so the first responder could get the person out.” The helicopter did not catch on fire, Sylvia said. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration said they were investigating the crash of the Airbus EC-130 T2. Eastbound lanes of the highway were closed throughout the night and reopened Tuesday morning. The aircraft was a REACH Air Medical helicopter, according to the company, which said in a statement that they “are keeping all those impacted in our thoughts and prayers.” “We are in the process of determining the details of this situation, as well as the condition of the REACH crew involved, who were all taken to area hospitals,” the company's statement said. Sacramento City Councilwoman Lisa Kaplan was on a ride along with law enforcement responding to the crash and said there were plumes of white smoke coming out of the downed helicopter. “It’s really sombering and sobering. I am up flying with sheriff pilots that do this day in and day out. And it really makes you grateful for every day and grateful for our officers and our medical pilots," she said.
