US House Committee Investigation Exposes Antisemitism, Political Indoctrination in Public Schools
The committee says district curricula and union-backed materials promoted antisemitic and anti-Israel content, while Philadelphia and Berkeley officials disputed the findings.
- On Wednesday, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce released a report accusing Philadelphia and Berkeley school districts, along with the National Education Association, of fostering systemic antisemitism and radical political activism in classrooms.
- Congressional investigations followed a 135 percent surge in antisemitic school incidents during 2023, with the NEA funding the Zinn Education Project, which the report says rationalized Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.
- Philadelphia curricula honored the 'Great March of Return' as a resistance option, while Berkeley schools paid over $111,000 to the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Consortium for materials that critics say erased Israel from maps.
- Superintendent Tony Watlington is standardizing curricula and ending staff-written programs, though district spokesperson Monique Braxton objected to the report's 'blatantly partisan framing' just days before the election.
- Investigators flagged broader political materials involving environmental justice and capitalism, signaling that findings will inform future congressional legislation aimed at addressing systemic antisemitism within American K-12 education.
