Gov't Task Force Tackles Anti-Semitism in Education
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Jewish groups welcome new task force to combat anti-Semitism in education, following recent attack and growing concerns. The task force will focus on Holocaust education and teacher training, as part of a larger government response to strengthen legal protections against hate speech. However, some Jewish leaders call for stronger action, particularly regarding university campuses, which they describe as hotbeds of harassment and intimidation. The task force will accelerate existing work to address anti-Semitism in schools, but a proposal to defund universities that fail to provide a safe space for Jewish students has not been endorsed. This situation sets up a potential conflict with student groups and pro-Palestinian advocates, who view universities as important places for free speech.
