Despite opposition by pro-Palestinian groups, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law several bills prioritized by the California Legislative Jewish Caucus that focus on Jewish student safety, Holocaust and genocide education, anti-discrimination training at public schools and colleges and “hate littering” on private property.
After a rocky year in which college campuses became sites of intense confrontation during pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests, members of the Jewish caucus introduced bills intended to prevent future incidents that endanger or isolate Jewish students.
