Antisemitic incidents in California schools have risen more than 430% over the past five years, according to the ADL.
And according to the FBI, in 2024, 70% of all faith-based hate crimes were committed against the Jewish community.
As a father with children in public schools, I see firsthand how this hate is seeping into the classroom. Jewish students and educators, in particular, are facing rising levels of ostracization, bullying, threats and even acts of violence. Although state and federal anti-discrimination and anti-racism laws exist, they have proven ineffective when it comes to addressing antisemitic racism and Jew hatred experienced by our children, families and educators in California’s K-12 education system.
