The HAF has retained a law firm to represent it during interactions with the California State Board of Education (SBE). The SBE will soon decide on a determination by the California Curriculum Commission that several edits and corrections regarding Hinduism be accepted in public school textbooks.

The Vedic Foundation and the Hindu Education Foundation had submitted extensive edits as part of a review process by the state education board.

HAF said in a statement that it became involved in the process when it came to understand that the education board and its staff failed to adequately address a substantial number of the edits given by Hindu bodies.
