Los Angeles Unified (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why now: A lower court judge had dismissed the case, arguing that the parents and teachers failed to show actual harm and thus lacked standing. Why it matters: The ruling sets the stage for renewed litigation over content in those Los Angeles Unified courses that have continued to use elements of the contested “liberated” curriculum. The enactment this year of Assembly Bill 715, which extends protections from discrimination based on religion and national identity to cover textbooks, materials an
