## Summary

Public schools in Philadelphia and Los Angeles are facing scrutiny over claims that educators brought political advocacy about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into lessons and student activities. The cases have renewed concerns about political bias and antisemitism in classrooms, while raising questions about how schools should teach contentious issues.

In Los Angeles, a district investigation substantiated 11 allegations involving teachers at Canoga Park High School, including one-sided lessons and efforts to recruit students to Students for Justice in Palestine. The district said it removed political materials, restructured curricula and required staff training on antisemitism and advocacy rules. In Philadelphia, a congressional committee criticised curriculum and an activity asking students to make artwork embodying “cultural resistance”; the article does not provide the full committee findings.
