The first-of-its-kind lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court describes, quote, unchecked anti-Semitism festering in school districts across the state.

Marcy Lerner is the head of legal investigations at the Brandeis Center, one of the two advocacy groups involved in the case.

This has been a problem.

The lawsuit references California's state constitution, which says students have the right to education free from discrimination and harassment.

State education officials said they could not comment on pending litigation.
