Berkeley Unified School District teachers and students have promoted anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment on campus..

Multiple California K-12 schools are being accused of promoting "viciously hostile environments" of "severe and persistent" antisemitism in a recent federal civil rights complaint...

Brandeis Center .. along with the U.S. Department of Education filed the complaint against the Berkely Unified School District ... The complaint alleged that the district has allowed the ongoing "harassment and discrimination" of Jewish students to skyrocket since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel.

"Over the past four months, BUSD has knowingly allowed its K-12 campuses to become viciously hostile environments for Jewish and Israeli students. .. antiSemitism has .. surged after October 7, 2023, when Hamas carried out a terrorist attack in Israel, massacring, torturing, and kidnapping 1400 innocent civilians, including infants, children, and the elderly,"..

Most people across the globe were horrified, but at BUSD, a virulent wave of anti-Semitism swept through its schools immediately following the massacre. Jewish and Israeli students have since been subjected to nonstop antiSemitic bullying and harassment by their teachers and peers, in hallways, in classrooms, and in school yards."..

The complaint cited multiple walkouts and demonstrations conducted by faculty members without parental permission across middle and high school campuses in support of Gaza. During these rallies, students were reportedly heard chanting "Kill the Jews" and "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free."

Multiple Jewish students also reported harassment in the classroom as teachers openly espoused anti-Israel beliefs and displayed antisemitic images such as a fist punching through the Star of David holding a Palestinian flag. The complaint alleged that other students had been influenced by these teachers and had begun calling out their Jewish classmates.

...

many students still afraid to attend school.

This is blowback. When you tear down the biblical foundations of a biblical country, chaos comes in.

My late mom was a huge teachers union supporter. She would have had her eyes opened wide. I told her a lot, the left are not your friends. But a lifetime of indoctrination is hard to overcome. Her father worshiped the traitor fdr.

I don’t get it. Anti-Semitism is wrong, but raping, disfiguring, torturing, terrorizing and murdering Jews is ok if you are the excuse for UNWRA supporting Hamas. I am so confused.
