I will be testifying Wednesday in front of Congress about the vile scourge of antisemitism and what we are doing to confront it in New York City public schools, the largest school system in the country.
The victims of intolerance and hate cannot afford to look away, and neither should their leaders.
In some moments, I saw peaceful protest, young people genuinely speaking up for their beliefs. In others, I saw a line being crossed, veering into hate and exclusion.
As I visited the protests, I thought about our K-12 children, the future college students of this country, and the type of people I want them to become: thoughtful and empathetic leaders who hold strong convictions but who also disagree civilly.
