WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, May 8, at 10:15 a.m., the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, chaired by Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL), will hold a hearing titled "Confronting Pervasive Antisemitism in K-12 Schools."
"Antisemitic incidents have exploded in K-12 schools following Hamas’ horrific October 7 attack. Jewish teachers, students, and faculty have been denied a safe learning environment and forced to contend with antisemitic agitators due to district leaders’ inaction," said Chairman Bean.
“This pervasive and extreme antisemitism in K-12 schools is not only alarming—it is absolutely unacceptable. This hearing will allow Committee members to hold the leaders of the most embattled school districts accountable for their failure to keep Jewish students and teachers safe.”
The hearing, scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, will take place at 2175 Rayburn House Office Building. Credentialed media planning to cover the event need to RSVP to Nick.Barley@mail.house.gov. The proceedings will also be live-streamed on the Committee’s YouTube page.
