Jewish culture, history, and contributions would become part of Oregon's educational curriculum, under a bill coursing through the legislature. It's in response to increased incidents of antisemitism, both in Oregon and across the U.S. In recent months, antisemitic flyers and swastika graffiti have been reported in Oregon communities, including Springfield and Eugene's South Hills area. Oregon Rep. David Gomberg (D-Lincoln City), is the chief sponsor of House Bill 2905 . It would complement existing requirements for Oregon's schools to teach about BIPOC, LGBTQ, and immigrant communities, among others.
