Civil Rights Organizations Call Attention to Continuing Problem of Bias-Related Harassment and Violence in Californias Public Schools What: Civil rights organizations representing broad sectors of communities join together to call attention to the problem that bias-related harassment continues to plague Californias public schools despite state laws that went into effect seven years ago to protect students. The results of a recent survey will be released showing that many school districts have failed to comply with the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, AB 537 (Kuehl), which prohibits discriminatory harassment and violence in schools. New state and local initiatives will be announced to prevent and reduce bias-related harassment and violence in schools, including the passage of the Safe Place to Learn Act (AB 394).
