Assembly Bill 715, endorsed by California Democrats, proposes adopting a definition of antisemitism influenced by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Critics argue this conflates political speech critical of Israel with hate speech, potentially criminalizing expression that should be constitutionally protected. The measure risks penalizing educational content and student activism surrounding Palestinian rights, threatening the voice of engaged youth and educators. This development raises critical concerns about balancing combating antisemitism while preserving open discourse in public schools.
