Chairman Tim Walberg announced Monday that the committee has launched investigations into reports of antisemitic harassment at three major districts: Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Berkeley Unified School District in California, and the School District of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The investigations center on whether the districts have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color and national origin, including shared ancestry, with their handling of campus antisemitism. In his letter to Fairfax Superintendent Michelle Reid, Mr. Walberg said the committee is “deeply concerned that FCPS is failing to uphold its obligation under Title VI,” citing reports of incidents occurring before and after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians and others. “Jewish students allegedly faced repeated antisemitic bullying, including other students making the ’Heil Hitler’ salute and throwing coins at them,” said the Monday letter. “Another school for years allegedly refused to remove a hallway display that included painted tiles, 40 percent of which featured swastikas and Nazi flags.” Shortly before the Oct. 7 attack, the Muslim Students Association at one high school hosted a speaker who made “gross antisemitic statements” on social media, such as “I’m not racist I love everyone. Except the yahood [Jews]” and “Never met a Jew who didn’t have a huge nose.” Some of the allegations listed in the letter were included in a 2022 complaint filed by the Zionist Organization of America with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
