The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has filed a federal civil rights complaint against the Philadelphia School District, alleging it has failed to protect Jewish students from antisemitism. The complaint claims that a 'virulent wave of antisemitism' swept through classrooms following Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, amid the Israel-Hamas War. The ADL accuses the school district of not addressing systemic antisemitism and failing to create a safe environment for Jewish students.
