Jerry Brown Signs
Law to Stop (Only) Anti-Muslim Bullying
by Joel B. Pollak 5 Oct 2016
Last week, California
Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly
Bill 2845, the Safe Place to Learn Act, which seeks to
protect students from anti-Muslim bullying — and no other kind of bullying
based on religion.
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Das Williams
(D-Carpenteria), claims: “Pupils who are Muslim, Sikh, or of South Asian descent often
face verbal, physical, or online harassment, all of which have significant
effects on their academic achievement and mental health.”
The bill also cites, approvingly, the federal
government’s call on Muslim parents to contact the U.S. Department of Justice
if their children experience bullying in school.
The bill was supported by the Council on American Islamic
Relations (CAIR), which was declared a terrorist
organization by the United Arab Emirates
and an unindicted
co-conspirator in a the Holy Land Foundation
terror-funding trial. It argues that Sikh and South Asian students are
also targeted, mistakenly, by anti-Muslim bullying because of the way
students may dress or look.
There is nothing in the bill about bullying of Christian
or Jewish students, whether by Muslims or other students.
Anti-Jewish rhetoric and antisemitic attacks are a
serious problem at several universities in California. A recent study
found that of the top ten most antisemitic campuses in the U.S., six were in
California, and five were from the University of California system. Though the
bill only covers elementary and secondary schools, habits and prejudices formed
— or ignored — during those years arguably form students’ attitudes and
opinions before they reach tertiary educational institutions.
State Sen. Joel Anderson (R-Alpine) opposed the bill, telling
the San
Diego Union-Tribune: “Religious bullying of any faith is
wrong, and I would have supported a bill that was inclusive of all faiths.”
