CA Ethnic Studies Update
Assemblymember Jose Media PULLS bill requiring ethnic studies courses for CA High School Graduation:
 
"It is not a question of whether the subject itself is necessary but rather, how do we ensure the curriculum is comprehensive, rigorous, and inclusive enough. This underscores the importance of taking the time necessary to ensure we get the curriculum right."

THANK YOU
Assemblymember medina!
Assemblymember Medina has been a wonderful friend to the Israeli-American and Jewish communities. His willingness to put AB 331 on hold until the State of California gets the ethnic studies curriculum right is another example of that friendship, and for that, we express our sincere appreciation and gratitude.

What's next?
 

At ICAN we will continue to keep our public comment system live until the final curriculum is approved on March 31st, 2020, ensuring that our community continues to have a voice on this vital issue moving forward.

And, in our unique capacity as the nation's only Israeli-American advocacy organization, we will work closely with our leaders in Sacramento to make sure the approved curriculum meets our community's standards.
