Clearinghouse coding in progress

Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case.)

On November 2, 2025, Plaintiffs filed this case in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Gavin Newsom and other key legislative officials. They sought to challenge the implementation of AB 715, a 2025 house bill amending California's educational code to to strengthen antidiscrimination protections for Jewish students specifically. Plaintiffs alleged that the bill's reliance on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (“IHRA”) definition of "antisemitism" conflates anti-Israel sentiment with antisemitism, chilling educators' ability to teach Palestinian perspectives.

This case is ongoing.
