It’s no secret that history’s oldest prejudice is on the rise in the Big Apple. In 2024, the NYPD recorded an antisemitic attack every 25 hours. All in all, there were 345 antisemitic hate crimes, which constituted roughly 54% of all hate crimes reported in the city.
When it comes to combating these trends, the city’s Department of Education (DOE) has been missing in action. Parents, teachers, and students have repeatedly complained that the city’s public schools have done very little to address antisemitic incidents on their campuses.
