Parents Seminar: Understanding and Responding to Antisemitism in the K–12 Classroom
What can we do to protect our kids?
This open seminar will unpack the roots of this disturbing trend and help you recognize how certain politicized classroom frameworks, including some versions of ethnic studies, can marginalize Jewish students. You will learn how these narratives make their way into curricula and what that means for your child.
- * Your rights as a parent or educator
- * How to advocate effectively for an inclusive and academically grounded education
- * What steps to take when antisemitism goes unchecked
Ilana Cohen is the Community Engagement Director for ACES, the Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies
