City Schools Chancellor David Banks will testify before Congress on antisemitism, addressing incidents such as teacher victimization, riots, and slow responses to hate in public schools.
Banks highlights tolerance for antisemitic posts by teachers and a double standard in handling hate incidents, including renaming Israel as 'Palestine' in a Qatar-funded program.
The rise of antisemitism, not Islamophobia, is a major concern in NYC public schools, prompting federal investigation and scrutiny of the Department of Education's actions.
Banks acknowledges the slow and weak response to antisemitic incidents in schools post-Hamas attack, indicating room for improvement in tackling hate in the education system.
