Parents in New York are pulling their children out of public schools following a surge in antisemitic incidents tied to the conflict in Gaza, with some families citing fears over rising hostility in classrooms. Concerns have escalated after reports that teachers allegedly amplified anti-Jewish rhetoric, leaving students and families feeling unsafe. The exodus comes amid broader tensions over how schools are addressing discussions about the Israel-Hamas war and its impact on Jewish students. Critics argue that educators have failed to create an environment where Jewish children can learn without facing harassment.
