Stop talking, start teaching: New York must fight to end antisemitism in our schools
Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss how the Trump administration has taken action to protect Jewish students amid the fight against antisemitism.
Over 500 days have passed since Hamas’ brutal October 7th attack—the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust.
More than 500 days of platitudes from certain politicians. More than 500 days of empty words. And yet, hatred against Jews isn’t declining—it’s exploding. In New York, home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel, Jewish students aren’t just unwelcome, they’re unsafe.
Jewish students across New York are under siege. The numbers don’t lie:
This crisis is real, and it’s getting worse. Reports place New York in the "Hall of Shame" for campus antisemitism. Institutions like Cornell, Columbia, The New School and NYU have received failing grades for their handling of attacks on Jews. City University of New York (CUNY) and State University of New York (SUNY) schools have also been plagued by repeated incidents of antisemitic harassment. It’s beyond unacceptable—it’s a disgrace.
