LA Teachers Union Withdraws Support for Board Candidate Over Antisemitism

The union suspends its campaign for Kahllid Al-Alim following revelations of his antisemitic social media activity.

The Los Angeles teachers union has suspended its campaign for school board candidate Kahllid Al-Alim due to his antisemitic social media posts.
Al-Alim endorsed a book by Louis Farrakhan that promotes antisemitic views and liked inappropriate content online.
Despite the controversy, Al-Alim has not withdrawn from the race and continues to receive support from some organizations.
The union's decision to suspend support comes after significant investment in Al-Alim's campaign, with over $650,000 spent.
The election for the District 1 seat on the LAUSD board is scheduled for March 5, with mail-in balloting already underway.
