Education and Antisemitism

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s office said the School District of Philadelphia must “take very seriously” allegations of antisemitism as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce investigates whether the district created a hostile environment for Jewish K‑12 students under Title VI. The committee’s November letter cites reports of teachers spreading antisemitism and district‑approved walkouts; Fox News Digital also reports obtaining messages from a ‘Philadelphia Educators for Palestine’ group and notes district policy bars staff‑student communication on personal social media.
