House Report: K-12 Antisemitism Crisis Uncovered

On Antisemitism Watch, Rachel Adler reports on a U.S. House Committee investigation into K-12 schools and teachers' unions, detailing allegations of widespread antisemitism and problematic curricula. We cover a reported needle attack in Midtown Manhattan being investigated as a bias incident, a foiled planned synagogue attack in France, and significant developments in UK education policy on antisemitism, including a government review and teachers' union pushback on the IHRA definition. The episode also features criticism of media figures for antisemitic rhetoric and reporting on the global spread of 'Globalize the Intifada' calls.
