"#AmericanJewishCommittee (#AJC) welcomed a federal court ruling today ensuring that #AB715, #California’s newly enacted law protecting #publicschool #students from bias and discrimination in the #classroom, will go into effect on Jan. 1.
Denying a challenge that sought to block the law, #US #DistrictCourt Judge Noël Wise, said the state had the right to regulate what is taught in public-#school #classrooms and when.

It is of no significance that the curricula and the attendant speech required to teach it may advance a single viewpoint to the exclusion of another.”
