LAUSD Substantiates 11 Allegations Against Teachers Over One-Sided Israel-Gaza Lessons

Summary
LAUSD found 11 allegations substantiated at Canoga Park High School, concluding teachers presented one-sided Israeli-Palestinian lessons and, in some cases, recruited students to Students for Justice in Palestine.
The district’s investigation cited material including a lesson on the “martyrs of Gaza,” prompting corrective steps such as removing political materials, restructuring curricula and requiring staff training on antisemitism and political-advocacy rules.
NAVI, which filed the complaints, said the issue was not teaching the conflict itself but presenting only one side; outside advocates argued the remedies still leave broader ideological bias and a hostile climate unaddressed.
In Philadelphia, a House committee separately accused the school district of curriculum that justified violent resistance and normalized radical groups, though the district said it rejects antisemitism and disputes the report’s conclusions.
Jewish families say the fallout has extended beyond classrooms: some have moved children to private Jewish schools, where operators report security costs topping $400,000 a year after Oct. 7, 2023.
