TL;DR

California aims to implement ethnic studies in all public high schools by 2025, but faces controversy over its treatment of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The discipline, which focuses on Black Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, has a leftist, activist spirit and includes the Palestinian experience of displacement. California's 700-page model curriculum captures much of this spirit but omits discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, instead emphasizing "multiple perspectives" on political issues.
