We are a large grassroots collective of Jewish parents from Berkeley, California. We care deeply about antisemitism, Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism. Jewish children are safe and thriving in Berkeley’s diverse schools. As Jewish Berkeley parents, we reject the notion that there is rampant antisemitism in our schools; it is simply not true. A handful of parents have painted a false picture of our city in the national media, fueling the national right-wing attack on education.
Our Jewish students are part of a loving multicultural community with access to a rich and rigorous public school curriculum where they learn about American history, race, gender, and the history of our diverse community members.
Learning about other minority communities, and building relationships of mutual support, is what keeps us safe as Jews.
