Back to school should not mean back to fear for Jewish students

Fox News · 5 hours ago

The Anti-Defamation League has filed a civil rights complaint against Colorado's Boulder Valley School District over years of alleged antisemitic harassment against Jewish students, an issue this Fox News opinion piece links to a national surge in such incidents as pupils return to school. The writer argues that heightened fear among Jewish families is preventing children from feeling safe at school, a place meant to teach them their place in society, and calls for adults and institutions to do more to protect them.

The complaint cites incidents including Nazi salutes, mockery of the Holocaust, and a game called "Jew touch tag" in which Jewish students were chased, with the alleged bullying escalating to physical assaults and criminal referrals. The article references data showing antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools have risen by 434% since 2020, and notes that parents and commentators have expressed outrage at the district's alleged failure to adequately address the harassment.
