Congressional Hearing Calls for Action Against Anti-Semitism in K-12 Schools

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing Wednesday to discuss combating hateful speech and actions against Jewish students and faculty in American public schools. There has been a wave of anti-Semitic incidents reported in schools since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Policymakers say school officials must be held accountable and students must be educated properly against hateful rhetoric.
