Antisemitic Discrimination

Antisemitic Discrimination

In light of the terrorist attacks on Israel after October 7, 2023, and the increase in antisemitic incidents, both internationally and closer to home, Javitch Law Office has dedicated itself to vigorously defending the rights of those affected. We have recently received complaints of antisemitic discrimination and harassment at schools, universities, and work. 

Jewish students and employees should seek assistance if their rights have been violated, including: 

  • Censorship of Jewish or Pro-Israel Speakers

  • Differential treatment of Jewish students in the classroom

  • Teachers and professors teaching their own political ideologies and/or factual inaccuracies in the classroom

  • Compelled speech of anti-Israel views requirements in class work

We understand the deep impact antisemitic discrimination can have, not only in educational institutions but also in the workplace. Whether you're a student, teacher, employee, or concerned family member facing antisemitic treatment, Javitch Law Office is here to offer legal support and guidance.

The Biden Administration recently reiterated the laws meant to address the alarming rise in reports of antisemitic, Islamophobic, and other hate-based or bias-based incidents at schools and on college campuses since the October 7th Israel-Hamas conflict. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released a new Dear Colleague Letter reminding schools of their legal obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) to provide all students, including students who are or are perceived to be Jewish, Israeli, Muslim, Arab, or Palestinian, a school environment free from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. 

Javitch Law Office is committed to ensuring that you don't face this challenge alone. We understand the nuances of such cases and are prepared to work tirelessly to protect your rights and seek justice. If you or someone you care about is experiencing antisemitic discrimination or hostility, please reach out to us. At Javitch Law Office, we believe in taking a stand against injustice and are ready to be your advocate during these trying times.
