The Federal Bureau of Investigation findings, released Monday, show that elementary, secondary, and university campuses accounted for 10 percent of all hate crimes documented in 2022.
In the same period, the most common victims of hate crime offenses at schools were Black and African American students. The second most common targets were Jewish students, followed by LGBTQ+ students as the third most-victimized group.
The latest FBI annual crime report, released in October, found that anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes in the United States jumped by 19 percent in 2022 compared to the previous year. Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement at the time that the data 'serves as another alarming indicator of the state of emergency our community finds itself in.'
