Beverly Hills Public School District Votes To Display Israeli Flags To Combat Antisemitism
The Beverly Hills Unified School District voted 3–2 to require Israeli flags be displayed at every campus and district site during the month of May.
The policy is embedded in a board resolution adopted Tuesday that says the district “will display the Jewish Israeli flag at each school and facility … throughout the month of May every year,” while also adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism and setting commemorations tied to Jewish history.
“Does any flag of a foreign nation belong on a public school facility here in Beverly Hills? Of course not,” parent Andrea Grossman told the board, according to CBS News.
Board president Rachelle Marcus and member Amanda Stern cast the two “no” votes; Marcus raised security concerns and Stern objected to placing a national flag in a school resolution, according to the outlet.
District officials also clarified the flags will not be raised on flagpoles alongside the U.S. and California flags but will be displayed elsewhere on campuses, CBS News reported.
The new rule is part of a resolution which also recognizes May as Jewish Heritage Month; commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day and International Holocaust Remembrance Day with age-appropriate instruction; and designates Oct. 7 as an annual day of remembrance.
