'Quite Shocking to Us': Local Parents Fighting 'Cesspool' of Anti-Semitism in Philly Schools Say Josh Shapiro's Office Stopped Meeting With Them

Philadelphia’s public school system has become an "absolute cesspool" of anti-Semitism and anti-American hatred, according to local parents—who say Gov. Josh Shapiro (D.) has "completely ignored" their pleas for help. Since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, Philadelphia school officials have publicly defended terrorism, called for the release of convicted cop killers, claimed Israel is an "apartheid theocracy," and denounced the United States as a "criminal Amerikan empire." The Philadelphia school district settled a federal discrimination case with the Department of Education last year after students allegedly taunted their Jewish classmates with Nazi salutes, swastika graffiti on doors, and threats to "kill the Jews." Frustrated parents told the Washington Free Beacon that they have tried to raise these issues with the governor but that his staff has done nothing in response and eventually stopped taking meetings with them.
