An ambitious bill to require all public high school students in California to take a semester of ethnic studies failed Wednesday. Educators are back to the drawing board and advocates say they will persevere.

The legislation would have required all public high school students in the state to complete a semester of ethnic studies.Medina, the bill’s sponsor, said Thursday that his bill’s intent to make ethnic studies a standard component of high school education got confused with the debate over how inclusive an ethnic studies curriculum should be.Under his bill, courses developed off the model curriculum would have met the requirement, but so would other ethnic studies courses.

In the summer of 2019, state education officials released a first draft of the model curriculum to intense controversy, particularly from Jewish groups, including the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, whose members objected to their lack of inclusion and a perception that the curriculum and sample lesson plans were anti-Semitic.

“Let’s continue improving this and getting this to the right place where we’re all content and where we all feel like we’re meaningfully included,” she said.
