We will admit that it's a shock headline to say that the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights has opened investigations over allegations of antisemitism against both the San Francisco Unified School District and the Oakland Unified School District. And it is true, as KTVU reports. Though there is not yet any proof of wrongdoing, nor are any of the allegations even public. And it's not a stretch to conclude that, legitimate incidents or not, the allegations come from parental angst over the highly charged Israel-Gaza situation, and how that's playing out in local schools and their curricula.
JCRC Bay Area has recently learned of investigations underway by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights of the San Francisco Unified School District and the Oakland Unified School District, school systems where large numbers of Jewish families have expressed concern for their children's safety amid rising antisemitism, their statement says. While we do not yet have information about the subject of the complaints, we have been concerned since October 7 about the safety and belonging of Jewish students in both districts.
