Re: “Holocaust training requirement fails in WA laws” [Feb. 24, Local News]:
I respect the thorough reporting on the failure of the Holocaust Schooling Act. Nonetheless, the article downplays the function of Washington Ethnic Research Now, which I’ve reported in The Cholent, Seattle’s solely Jewish information outlet. WAESN mobilized the opposition with misinformation in regards to the invoice and its funding. Extra troubling, WAESN has a documented historical past of making an attempt to exclude Jewish neighborhood considerations from public training, arguing that native Jewish organizations are white and highly effective.
Their efforts to marginalize the Holocaust Middle for Humanity are proof that Holocaust training is a good suggestion.
