A school district in Orange County, California, has agreed to halt the teaching of ethnic studies courses after a lawsuit was filed by three Jewish groups alleging that the courses contained antisemitic content. The settlement requires the district to revise the courses through a transparent process that includes public input. The Jewish groups see the resolution as a victory, but also pledge to remain vigilant against similar issues in other school districts. The district must now apply special guidelines for teaching about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and adhere to content restrictions outlined in the settlement. The district will also pay $43,000 to a private law firm that assisted in the case.
