House Republicans are holding a hearing to investigate accusations of antisemitism in elementary and secondary schools following the attack on Israel by Hamas. District leaders from New York City, Berkeley, and Montgomery County are expected to testify.
Unlike college faculty, public schoolteachers do not have broad rights to academic freedom and must adhere to state and district curriculum standards. The leaders may face questions on handling incidents like 'Kill the Jews' shouts and controversial lesson plans.
Specific incidents like using a classroom map without Israel labeled, referring to Israeli apartheid, and students shouting 'Kill the Jews' may be scrutinized during the hearing by House Committee members.
