Josh Shapiro urges Philly schools to ‘take very seriously’ antisemitism as Congress opens investigation
AI Summary
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is urging the School District of Philadelphia to address rising antisemitism in its classrooms, prompting a congressional investigation. The House Committee on Education and the Workforce is investigating allegations of a hostile environment for Jewish K-12 students within the district since October 7, 2023. Concerns include teachers allegedly spreading antisemitism and the approval of antisemitic walkouts. The investigation follows reports that antisemitic incidents have continued despite a federally mandated corrective action plan implemented in December 2024. The investigation was sparked by reports from parents and teachers, along with a document from a group called Philadelphia Educators for Palestine, which defends Palestinian "resistance."
