ADL Files Civil Rights Complaint Against Boulder Valley Schools Over 434% Rise in K-12 Antisemitic Incidents

Summary
Colorado's Boulder Valley School District faces an ADL civil rights complaint alleging years of antisemitic harassment, including Nazi salutes, Holocaust mockery and a "Jew touch tag" game targeting Jewish students.
The filing argues the district failed to stop bullying that escalated into physical assaults and criminal referrals, leaving Jewish families worried students will not be protected at school.
Federal guidance cited in the report says Title VI requires schools to take immediate action when harassment creates a hostile environment for Jewish students or those perceived to be Jewish.
National data underscores the complaint: antisemitic incidents at K-12 schools are up 434% since 2020, and Jews—about 2% of the U.S. population—accounted for 16% of reported hate-crime victims.
