Less than 24 hours after the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board voted to display the Israeli flag at all schools and facilities in the district during Jewish Heritage Month, Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss issued a statement reversing the decision.
“In light of heightened safety concerns around the displaying of flags on our campuses I have made the decision to take immediate action for the safety and security of our students,” Cherniss wrote in a statement sent to the BHUSD community. “Until further notice, no flags will be displayed on our campuses other than the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the state of California.”
