"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 1:00 p.m. Sunday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area lawmakers are urging de-escalation, and blasting President Donald Trump for not getting authorization from Congress before striking three Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday. East Bay Rep. Lateefah Simon called the U.S. strikes on Iran “lawless, dangerous and immoral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we normalize war as a reactionary decision, an easy decision … we lose our moral compass as a nation,” Simon said. “No one is safe under a presidency that chooses bombs over dialogue, chaos over peace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, echoed those sentiments, saying that Trump’s actions in Iran are not just dangerous, but “a direct violation of the constitution and Congress’s authority to declare war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman added that there were “diplomatic and strategic alternatives to address the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions” that the administration ignored.\u003cbr>\n“What may seem ‘successful’ in the moment is more likely to lead to awful ramifications for our service members, national security, and our global credibility,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Bay Rep. Sam Liccardo stressed the danger of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, and urged the country’s leaders to allow international inspectors to return their work unimpeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get to that point then we continue to have a threat from Iran, and that threat will take many forms,” Liccardo said. “They will pick the retaliation [against U.S. troops] at a time and place of their choosing, and American lives will be lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Disagreement among national Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After nearly two years of stark divisions over the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war\">war in Gaza\u003c/a> and support for Israel, Democrats seemed to remain at odds over policy toward Iran. Progressives demanded unified opposition before Trump announced U.S. strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program but party leaders were treading more cautiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. leaders of all stripes have found common ground for two decades on the position that Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The longtime U.S. foe has supported groups that have killed Americans across the Mideast and threatened to destroy Israel. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-talks-geneva-news-06-21-2025-a7b0cdaba28b5817467ccf712d214579\">But Trump’s announcement Saturday that the U.S. had struck three nuclear sites\u003c/a> could become the Democratic Party’s latest schism, just as it was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-maga-tucker-carlson-charlie-kirk-409c839e4eadf2a39a1b957213379b08\">sharply dividing\u003c/a> Trump’s isolationist \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-israel-maga-jones-kirk-carlson-greene-bannon-7ffad821874e1a68b63ff1308c5ba4e9\">“Make America Great Again”\u003c/a> base from more hawkish conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, noted that in January, Trump suggested the U.S. could “measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran,” Martin said in a statement. “Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, said the U.S. entering the war in Iran “does not make America more secure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bombing was an act of war that risks retaliation by the Iranian regime,” Welch said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While progressives in the lead-up to the military action had staked out clear opposition to Trump’s potential intervention, the party leadership played the safer ground of insisting on a role for Congress before any use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s statement took a similar tact, stating, “Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine called Trump’s actions, “Horrible judgement” and said he’d “push for all senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many prominent Democrats with 2028 presidential aspirations had been silent on the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-gaza-news-06-20-2025-8adbedb3427a76be7dbde4a18a05f75f\">Israel-Iran war\u003c/a>, even before Trump’s announcement — underscoring how politically tricky the issue can be for the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are sort of hedging their bets,” said Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant secretary of state who served under Democratic President Barack Obama and is now a strategist on foreign policy. “The beasts of the Democratic Party’s constituencies right now are so hostile to Israel’s war in Gaza that it’s really difficult to come out looking like one would corroborate an unauthorized war that supports Israel without blowback.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Progressive Democrats also are using Trump’s ideas and words\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., had called Trump’s consideration of an attack “a defining moment for our party.” Khanna had introduced legislation with Rep.

East Bay Rep. Lateefah Simon called the U.S. strikes on Iran “lawless, dangerous and immoral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we normalize war as a reactionary decision, an easy decision … we lose our moral compass as a nation,” Simon said. “No one is safe under a presidency that chooses bombs over dialogue, chaos over peace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, echoed those sentiments, saying that Trump’s actions in Iran are not just dangerous, but “a direct violation of the constitution and Congress’s authority to declare war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman added that there were “diplomatic and strategic alternatives to address the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions” that the administration ignored.\u003cbr>\n“What may seem ‘successful’ in the moment is more likely to lead to awful ramifications for our service members, national security, and our global credibility,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sam Liccardo stressed the danger of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, and urged the country’s leaders to allow international inspectors to return their work unimpeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get to that point then we continue to have a threat from Iran, and that threat will take many forms,” Liccardo said. “They will pick the retaliation [against U.S. troops] at a time and place of their choosing, and American lives will be lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Disagreement among national Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After nearly two years of stark divisions over the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war\">war in Gaza\u003c/a> and support for Israel, Democrats seemed to remain at odds over policy toward Iran. Progressives demanded unified opposition before Trump announced U.S. strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program but party leaders were treading more cautiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. leaders of all stripes have found common ground for two decades on the position that Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The longtime U.S. foe has supported groups that have killed Americans across the Mideast and threatened to destroy Israel. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-talks-geneva-news-06-21-2025-a7b0cdaba28b5817467ccf712d214579\">But Trump’s announcement Saturday that the U.S. had struck three nuclear sites\u003c/a> could become the Democratic Party’s latest schism, just as it was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-maga-tucker-carlson-charlie-kirk-409c839e4eadf2a39a1b957213379b08\">sharply dividing\u003c/a> Trump’s isolationist \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-israel-maga-jones-kirk-carlson-greene-bannon-7ffad821874e1a68b63ff1308c5ba4e9\">“Make America Great Again”\u003c/a> base from more hawkish conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, noted that in January, Trump suggested the U.S. could “measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran,” Martin said in a statement. “Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, said the U.S. entering the war in Iran “does not make America more secure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bombing was an act of war that risks retaliation by the Iranian regime,” Welch said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While progressives in the lead-up to the military action had staked out clear opposition to Trump’s potential intervention, the party leadership played the safer ground of insisting on a role for Congress before any use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s statement took a similar tact, stating, “Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine called Trump’s actions, “Horrible judgement” and said he’d “push for all senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many prominent Democrats with 2028 presidential aspirations had been silent on the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-gaza-news-06-20-2025-8adbedb3427a76be7dbde4a18a05f75f\">Israel-Iran war\u003c/a>, even before Trump’s announcement — underscoring how politically tricky the issue can be for the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are sort of hedging their bets,” said Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant secretary of state who served under Democratic President Barack Obama and is now a strategist on foreign policy. “The beasts of the Democratic Party’s constituencies right now are so hostile to Israel’s war in Gaza that it’s really difficult to come out looking like one would corroborate an unauthorized war that supports Israel without blowback.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Progressive Democrats also are using Trump’s ideas and words\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rep.

"content": "\u003cp>The head of Berkeley public schools firmly denied accusations that antisemitism has become “pervasive” in her district, telling a congressional panel on Wednesday that any alleged incidents of discrimination were being proactively addressed through education, restorative justice and, when necessary, discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We take action to teach, correct and redirect our students,” Superintendent Enikia Ford Morthel told members of a House Education and Workforce subcommittee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford Morthel testified in Washington, D.C., alongside the leaders of the New York City Public Schools and the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland as part of a series of Republican-led hearings on antisemitism. The first such congressional hearing to focus on K-12 education, it comes amid a wave of pro-Palestinian student protests taking place at dozens of U.S. universities and a growing number of middle and high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tense hearing follows a series of similar inquiries into antisemitism on university campuses, the first of which, in December, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ivy-league-presidents-backlash-women-021ec60af6a5a5279c644376de065738\">contributed to the resignations\u003c/a> of the presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. Most recently, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/business/takeaways-columbia-antisemitism-hearing/index.html\">testimony of Columbia University’s president\u003c/a> last month precipitated weeks of escalated student protests that spread well beyond her campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an opening statement on Wednesday, Rep. Aaron Bean, a Florida Republican who leads the subcommittee, said antisemitism has become a “dominant force” in America’s schools, with students as young as second-graders “spewing Nazi propaganda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve been accused of doing nothing and turning a blind eye,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three district leaders took issue with that claim and repeatedly stressed their dedication to the education, well-being and safety of their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize the need to teach students to express themselves with respect and compassion,” said Ford Morthel, noting that her district approved a policy against hate speech last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our babies sometimes say hurtful things. We are mindful that all kids make mistakes,” she said. “We know that our staff are not immune to missteps either, and we don’t ignore them when they occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11985339\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11985339\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Berkeley High School in Berkeley on May 8, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985234/berkeley-schools-chief-set-to-testify-at-congressional-hearing-on-antisemitism\">Berkeley’s progressive school district\u003c/a> came to the attention of conservative lawmakers in February when the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and the Anti-Defamation League \u003ca href=\"https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/IcqICVON1KCgYly7hQ-Uf_?domain=brandeiscenter.com\">filed a federal complaint\u003c/a> with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The groups alleged that Jewish students in Berkeley schools had been subject to “severe and persistent” discrimination, citing incidents of bullying and harassment, including one instance in which the phrase “Kill Jews” was found written in a high school bathroom. School leaders “knowingly allowed” a “viciously hostile” anti-Jewish environment and failed to respond to student and parent concerns, the complaint said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brandeis Center, run by a former education department official under former President Trump, has filed similar complaints against several universities. It also sued the University of California and UC Berkeley officials in November \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-12-01/lawsuit-accuses-uc-berkeley-of-fostering-anti-semitism-dean-calls-accusations-inaccurate\">over allegations of antisemitism on campus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Office for Civil Rights announced it had opened a formal investigation into the Berkeley complaint — consistent with its ongoing investigations of similar complaints at New York City and Montgomery Public Schools. The cases center on whether the districts responded to harassment of students in a manner consistent with Title VI, which prevents harassment based on shared ancestry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Israel-Hamas war began on Oct. 7, Berkeley Unified has received complaints of antisemitism arising from nine incidents, said Ford Morthel, who has led the district for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not publish our actions because student information is private and legally protected under federal and state law,” she said. “As a result, some believe we do nothing. This is not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Echoing a tactic from the previous hearings, Republican lawmakers peppered the school leaders with questions about what they consider antisemitic. Asked if the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is antisemitic, all three generally said yes, though with some equivocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is if it is calling for the elimination of the Jewish people in Israel,” Ford Morthel said. “And I will also say that I recognize that it does have different meanings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to Berkeley families, sent out just before the start of Wednesday’s hearing, Ford Morthel acknowledged that reports of antisemitism in the district have increased since Oct. 7. But she reiterated that antisemitism was by no means pervasive in Berkeley schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Antisemitic incidents in our schools are deeply concerning and unacceptable, as are incidents of Islamophobia, racism, homophobia, bullying, othering, and all forms of hate,” she said in the letter. “As a district, and a community, we stand against hate. This is a deeply held value in Berkeley. Every student deserves to be in schools that are nurturing, responsive, and safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three districts, in predominantly liberal areas, have diverse student populations and a sizable Jewish American community. All three have also seen student-led pro-Palestinian protests. The demonstrations, including several at Berkeley High and some middle schools in the district, have included walkouts during school hours, in which students have chanted certain phrases — including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” — that can mean widely \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/river-sea-israel-gaza-hamas-protests-d7abbd756f481fe50b6fa5c0b907cd49\">different things\u003c/a> to different people, and that some argue, cross the line into antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the hearing, Republicans demanded tougher consequences for teachers and principals accused of antisemitism. They repeatedly confronted New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks over the case of a high school principal in his district who was reassigned but not fired after a chaotic student demonstration against a pro-Israel teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks said it was “clearly an act of antisemitism,” and some students were suspended. The principal was removed from the school “for a lack of leadership” and moved to an administrative role, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, questioned that outcome, saying, “We want results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hearing nice words, really nice words here: teaching, redirecting, directing,” Owens said. “What I’m missing is discipline, and I’m missing the word ‘fired.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks cited his district’s actions, including student suspensions and employee terminations. But he also emphasized the role of education, saying the district is building a new curriculum on the contributions of the Jewish community, along with separate lessons about hate crimes and bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot simply discipline our way out of this problem,” Banks said. “The true antidote to ignorance and bias is to teach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" postID=\"news_11985234,news_11982697,news_11969165\"]Karla Silvestre, the board president of Montgomery County Public Schools, described a similar approach in her suburban Maryland district. Classrooms have more lessons on the Jewish experience, and the district will now require “hate-based training” for all staff, she said, adding that teachers who don’t provide a safe learning environment “will not remain in Montgomery County public schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me be clear — we do not shy away from imposing consequences for hateful behavior, including antisemitism,” Silvestre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pressed on firings and suspensions, Silvestre said Montgomery County has taken “disciplinary action” against some teachers, but none has been fired. Bean suggested that wasn’t good enough: “So you allow them to continue to teach hate,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks questioned whether the panel’s actions had brought schools any closer to addressing antisemitism on campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This convening feels like the ultimate ‘gotcha’ moment,” he said. “It doesn’t sound like people trying to solve for something we actually solve for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters last week, Banks acknowledged that his district had not been perfect in handling issues in schools that have emerged since the start of the war in Gaza but that he was proud of how leadership had responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks seemed critical of how previous hearings were quickly reduced to viral moments and video clips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I fundamentally believe that if we truly care about solving for antisemitism, you don’t do it through cheap political theater and cheap soundbites,” he said. “Putting a spotlight on any particular individual and sometimes trying to create gotcha moments and viral moments is not how you ultimately solve problems you deeply care about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press and KQED’s Sara Hossaini and Matthew Green.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The first such congressional hearing to focus on K-12 education, it comes amid a wave of pro-Palestinian student protests taking place at dozens of U.S. universities and a growing number of middle and high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tense hearing follows a series of similar inquiries into antisemitism on university campuses, the first of which, in December, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ivy-league-presidents-backlash-women-021ec60af6a5a5279c644376de065738\">contributed to the resignations\u003c/a> of the presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. Most recently, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/business/takeaways-columbia-antisemitism-hearing/index.html\">testimony of Columbia University’s president\u003c/a> last month precipitated weeks of escalated student protests that spread well beyond her campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an opening statement on Wednesday, Rep. Aaron Bean, a Florida Republican who leads the subcommittee, said antisemitism has become a “dominant force” in America’s schools, with students as young as second-graders “spewing Nazi propaganda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve been accused of doing nothing and turning a blind eye,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three district leaders took issue with that claim and repeatedly stressed their dedication to the education, well-being and safety of their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize the need to teach students to express themselves with respect and compassion,” said Ford Morthel, noting that her district approved a policy against hate speech last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our babies sometimes say hurtful things. We are mindful that all kids make mistakes,” she said. “We know that our staff are not immune to missteps either, and we don’t ignore them when they occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11985339\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11985339\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240508-BERKELEY-HIGH-FILE-MD-03-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Berkeley High School in Berkeley on May 8, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985234/berkeley-schools-chief-set-to-testify-at-congressional-hearing-on-antisemitism\">Berkeley’s progressive school district\u003c/a> came to the attention of conservative lawmakers in February when the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and the Anti-Defamation League \u003ca href=\"https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/IcqICVON1KCgYly7hQ-Uf_?domain=brandeiscenter.com\">filed a federal complaint\u003c/a> with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The groups alleged that Jewish students in Berkeley schools had been subject to “severe and persistent” discrimination, citing incidents of bullying and harassment, including one instance in which the phrase “Kill Jews” was found written in a high school bathroom. School leaders “knowingly allowed” a “viciously hostile” anti-Jewish environment and failed to respond to student and parent concerns, the complaint said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brandeis Center, run by a former education department official under former President Trump, has filed similar complaints against several universities. It also sued the University of California and UC Berkeley officials in November \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-12-01/lawsuit-accuses-uc-berkeley-of-fostering-anti-semitism-dean-calls-accusations-inaccurate\">over allegations of antisemitism on campus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Office for Civil Rights announced it had opened a formal investigation into the Berkeley complaint — consistent with its ongoing investigations of similar complaints at New York City and Montgomery Public Schools. The cases center on whether the districts responded to harassment of students in a manner consistent with Title VI, which prevents harassment based on shared ancestry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Israel-Hamas war began on Oct. 7, Berkeley Unified has received complaints of antisemitism arising from nine incidents, said Ford Morthel, who has led the district for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not publish our actions because student information is private and legally protected under federal and state law,” she said. “As a result, some believe we do nothing. This is not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Echoing a tactic from the previous hearings, Republican lawmakers peppered the school leaders with questions about what they consider antisemitic. Asked if the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is antisemitic, all three generally said yes, though with some equivocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is if it is calling for the elimination of the Jewish people in Israel,” Ford Morthel said. “And I will also say that I recognize that it does have different meanings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to Berkeley families, sent out just before the start of Wednesday’s hearing, Ford Morthel acknowledged that reports of antisemitism in the district have increased since Oct. 7. But she reiterated that antisemitism was by no means pervasive in Berkeley schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Antisemitic incidents in our schools are deeply concerning and unacceptable, as are incidents of Islamophobia, racism, homophobia, bullying, othering, and all forms of hate,” she said in the letter. “As a district, and a community, we stand against hate. This is a deeply held value in Berkeley. Every student deserves to be in schools that are nurturing, responsive, and safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All three have also seen student-led pro-Palestinian protests. The demonstrations, including several at Berkeley High and some middle schools in the district, have included walkouts during school hours, in which students have chanted certain phrases — including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” — that can mean widely \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/river-sea-israel-gaza-hamas-protests-d7abbd756f481fe50b6fa5c0b907cd49\">different things\u003c/a> to different people, and that some argue, cross the line into antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the hearing, Republicans demanded tougher consequences for teachers and principals accused of antisemitism. They repeatedly confronted New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks over the case of a high school principal in his district who was reassigned but not fired after a chaotic student demonstration against a pro-Israel teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks said it was “clearly an act of antisemitism,” and some students were suspended. The principal was removed from the school “for a lack of leadership” and moved to an administrative role, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, questioned that outcome, saying, “We want results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hearing nice words, really nice words here: teaching, redirecting, directing,” Owens said. “What I’m missing is discipline, and I’m missing the word ‘fired.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks cited his district’s actions, including student suspensions and employee terminations. But he also emphasized the role of education, saying the district is building a new curriculum on the contributions of the Jewish community, along with separate lessons about hate crimes and bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot simply discipline our way out of this problem,” Banks said. “The true antidote to ignorance and bias is to teach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many people, he said, don’t realize that when Williams was hired to lead Glide, the congregation was almost down to the single digits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He chose a remarkably unsurprising strategy to rebuild the congregation. He decided to be a fierce advocate for social justice and civil rights. And most controversial for the time, he became an outspoken advocate for lesbian and gay and transgender rights” at a time when San Francisco Police were arresting gay and lesbian people for being in bars, Shaw said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In turning Glide into a major deliverer of social services, Williams became a prolific fundraiser and powerful booster, garnering the support of celebrities and major influencers, the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, Bono and Warren Buffet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cecil was able to make financial connections to donors that no one else in the Tenderloin, and maybe even in San Francisco, could make,” he said. “He was the fiery minister who was urging people to get involved in stuff and fighting for justice and not mincing words about things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Mayor London Breed called Williams “the conscience of our San Francisco community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He spoke out against injustice and he spoke for the marginalized,” she said. “He led with compassion and wisdom, always putting the people first and never relenting in his pursuit of justice and equality. His kindness brought people together and his vision changed our City and the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed also noted how Williams championed the idea of supportive housing and “wraparound” services for those in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a young girl, I would never have dreamed I’d grow up to work with him,” she said. “We all benefited from his guidance, his support, and his moral compass. We would not be who we are as a city and a people without the legendary Cecil Williams.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article includes reporting from KQED’s Matthew Green, Alex Gonzalez, and Bay City News.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced plans to deploy 120 California Highway Patrol officers in and around Oakland as part of a “surge operation” to crack down on theft and violent crime in the city and surrounding area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening in this beautiful city and surrounding area is alarming and unacceptable,” Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/02/06/chp-surge-east-bay/\">said in a statement\u003c/a>, noting that as crime has dropped in many cities across the state — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/news/san-franciscos-public-safety-efforts-deliver-results-decline-crime-rates\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mayor.lacity.gov/news/lapd-reports-homicides-and-violent-crime-down-2023-mayor-bass-highlights-comprehensive\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> — it has continued to climb in Oakland. “I’m sending the California Highway Patrol to assist local efforts to restore a sense of safety that the hardworking people of Oakland and the East Bay demand and deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deployment will mark a nearly 900% increase in CHP personnel in Oakland and Alameda County, according to the statement, and amounts to almost 20% of the total number of OPD officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout the operation, the CHP’s efforts will include enforcement of auto theft, cargo theft, retail crime, and high-visibility proactive traffic enforcement in and around Oakland and Alameda County,” CHP spokesperson Jaime Coffee said. The strategy, he added, is to saturate the area with officers and investigators who will work directly with local law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will include CHP specialty units like narcotics-detecting K9 units and air support,” Coffee said. “CHP will also deploy license-plate reader technology to detect and recover stolen vehicles.”[aside label=\"More on Oakland crime issues\" postID=\"news_11974485,news_11961919,news_11928655\"]The governor’s move follows calls for assistance from a growing number of local organizations and politicians, including the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Sheng Thao. Last month, a group of Oakland community leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/oakland-leaders-meet-with-gov-newsom-to-address-crime/\">traveled to Sacramento\u003c/a> to meet with the governor and request more crime-fighting resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spate of recent headlines have focused on the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/14/us/oakland-crime-economy-homelessness.html\">rising crime rates, \u003c/a>economic woes, and the ongoing efforts to \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2024/01/09/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-recall-campaign/\">recall its mayor\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11966518/pamela-price-recall-alameda-potential\">county’s district attorney\u003c/a> — largely over crime concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violent crime in Oakland increased by 21% in 2023, compared to the previous year — with the number of homicides plateauing at 120 — while robberies climbed 38% and motor vehicle theft jumped 45%, \u003ca href=\"https://cityofoakland2.app.box.com/s/sjiq7usfy27gy9dfe51hp8arz5l1ixad/file/1404598604813\">according to Oakland Police Department end-of-year data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Oakland police has a ‘no chase’ policy. Most of the criminals, they are jumping from one city to another, and OPD cannot chase them,” said Carl Chan, president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, who was among the group of community advocates that attended the January meeting with Newsom. “The CHP has the right to go into all the different cities within the state.

Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced plans to deploy 120 California Highway Patrol officers in and around Oakland as part of a “surge operation” to crack down on theft and violent crime in the city and surrounding area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening in this beautiful city and surrounding area is alarming and unacceptable,” Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/02/06/chp-surge-east-bay/\">said in a statement\u003c/a>, noting that as crime has dropped in many cities across the state — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/news/san-franciscos-public-safety-efforts-deliver-results-decline-crime-rates\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mayor.lacity.gov/news/lapd-reports-homicides-and-violent-crime-down-2023-mayor-bass-highlights-comprehensive\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> — it has continued to climb in Oakland. “I’m sending the California Highway Patrol to assist local efforts to restore a sense of safety that the hardworking people of Oakland and the East Bay demand and deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deployment will mark a nearly 900% increase in CHP personnel in Oakland and Alameda County, according to the statement, and amounts to almost 20% of the total number of OPD officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout the operation, the CHP’s efforts will include enforcement of auto theft, cargo theft, retail crime, and high-visibility proactive traffic enforcement in and around Oakland and Alameda County,” CHP spokesperson Jaime Coffee said. The strategy, he added, is to saturate the area with officers and investigators who will work directly with local law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will include CHP specialty units like narcotics-detecting K9 units and air support,” Coffee said. “CHP will also deploy license-plate reader technology to detect and recover stolen vehicles.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last month, a group of Oakland community leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/oakland-leaders-meet-with-gov-newsom-to-address-crime/\">traveled to Sacramento\u003c/a> to meet with the governor and request more crime-fighting resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spate of recent headlines have focused on the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/14/us/oakland-crime-economy-homelessness.html\">rising crime rates, \u003c/a>economic woes, and the ongoing efforts to \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2024/01/09/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-recall-campaign/\">recall its mayor\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11966518/pamela-price-recall-alameda-potential\">county’s district attorney\u003c/a> — largely over crime concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violent crime in Oakland increased by 21% in 2023, compared to the previous year — with the number of homicides plateauing at 120 — while robberies climbed 38% and motor vehicle theft jumped 45%, \u003ca href=\"https://cityofoakland2.app.box.com/s/sjiq7usfy27gy9dfe51hp8arz5l1ixad/file/1404598604813\">according to Oakland Police Department end-of-year data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Oakland police has a ‘no chase’ policy. Most of the criminals, they are jumping from one city to another, and OPD cannot chase them,” said Carl Chan, president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, who was among the group of community advocates that attended the January meeting with Newsom. “The CHP has the right to go into all the different cities within the state. So that is extremely helpful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deployment also comes after the Newsom administration late last year distributed over $267 million in grants to local police and sheriff’s departments and district attorney’s offices throughout California to fight organized retail theft.
