Description: Exactly one year after the terrorist attack on Israel, a group of Jewish California teachers is suing state officials and the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District over regulations they say force them to associate with a union that promotes anti-Israel rhetoric. The federal lawsuit against Alberto M. Carvalho, LAUSD superintendent and the California Public Employee Relation Board argues the teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District should not be forced to be a part of the teachers union, called the Unified Teachers of Los Angeles, because it "publicly advocates acts violating their deeply held religious beliefs." Kimberly Krieger, Carli Goblin, Anna Kingston, and another Jewish teacher who is unnamed in the complaint say the UTLA "supports calls for the destruction of Plaintiffs' religious homeland, and promotes animosity and violence towards people of Jewish decent."Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx
