Antisemitism, Democracy, and the Assault on Knowledge & Education

Over the last few weeks, the Trump administration has exploited real concerns about antisemitism to undercut civil liberties, our educational institutions, and our democratic norms. From gutting universities’ federal funding and upending the rule of law, to dismantling the Department of Education, these policies ultimately threaten the safety and rights of Jewish and all students and our very democracy. 

Join AFT and Albert Shanker Institute President Randi Weingarten and Jewish Council for Public Affairs CEO Amy Spitalnick for a conversation on how to confront antisemitism and broader hate, protect our democracy, and fight back against this assault on knowledge and education. This conversation will be moderated by Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers and a Shanker Institute board member.
