The US Department of Education says it has begun investigations of six colleges and one school district over accusations of antisemitic or anti-Muslim discrimination during an ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis, according to Reuters.
“Hate has no place in our schools, period. When students are targeted because they are—or are perceived to be—Jewish, Muslim, Arab, Sikh, or any other ethnicity or shared ancestry, schools must act to ensure safe and inclusive educational environments where everyone is free to learn,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
