Both Jewish groups have filed a lawsuit alleging that the office did not craft a serious agreement with the School District of Philadelphia to eradicate antisemitism in the district. The suit also says that OCR neglected to “enforce even that inadequate agreement,” according to a press release.

In the two years since Oct. 7, 2023—the modern period of Jew-hatred normalization—the vilification of Jews and the Jewish State has spread from the college campuses to high schools and even down to pre-K classrooms.
