Federal report warns of rise in antisemitic incidents against children in schools

A six-year-old child’s teacher told her she was “half human” because one of her parents was Jewish – one of nearly 800 antisemitic incidents in the Ontario elementary and high school system since 2023 reported to a federally commissioned survey.

Others included a 13-year-old girl being swarmed several times a day by classmates who raised their hands in a Nazi salute even as she begged them to stop, and Jewish children told by their teachers they were baby-killers for supporting Israel in its war with the militant group Hamas.
