Josh Shapiro urges Philly schools to 'take very seriously' antisemitism as Congress opens investigation

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has called on the School District of Philadelphia to address growing concerns over antisemitism in its schools, following a congressional investigation into allegations of anti-Jewish incidents and rhetoric. Reports from parents, teachers, and advocacy groups describe a hostile environment for Jewish students, with accusations that some educators are spreading antisemitic views and encouraging political activism among students. The investigation highlights incidents such as the use of controversial materials, alleged threats against Jewish students and parents, and the promotion of slogans and actions widely considered antisemitic. While Shapiro has urged action, other city and school officials have declined to comment due to the ongoing investigation.
