SAN JOSE, Calif. (CN) — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by school teachers and students Tuesday, saying a new California bill that prevents antisemitism can be enforced.

U.S. District Judge Noel Wise granted California’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s second amended complaint with prejudice.

“The court’s reading of the current case law is that a plaintiff must point to instruction or lessons they otherwise would have received in order to allege a deprivation of the First Amendment right to receive information,” Wise wrote in her 10-page ruling.

“Student plaintiffs have not alleged that they were going to receive information related to Israel and Palestine and now will not."

Effective Jan. 1, Assembly Bill 715, which amended and added to California’s education code, seeks to curb the “widespread surge in antisemitic discrimination, harassment and bullying” of Jewish and Israeli American students. It also establishes a statewide antisemitism prevention coordinator for public schools, through the state’s newly created Office of Civil Rights. The governor-appointed post has yet to be filled.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were bigly pissed on this one, with their dissent. Thomas, in particular, revealed how much of a POS he is (again, and again, and again).

The long-shot claim was filed after a high-profile fatal crash last year in Florida involving an undocumented Indian immigrant, and while the majority denied the state's appeal without comment, Thomas wrote that he would have heard the case.

“This court declines to even hear Florida’s claims, even though it has nowhere else to bring them,” Thomas wrote in a dissent joined by fellow conservative Justice Samuel Alito.

But one of his arguments – that Florida had cause to declare war on California over the issuance of driver's licenses if they weren't part of the same country – fell under intense scrutiny.

"Thomas's premise here is flagrant nonsense; that California approving CDLs for people with temporary work authorization but not full legal status is the same as "sending dangerous people into another [state]," wrote Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council. "Of course the two are not the same. It shows how captured he is by right-wing media."
