While most of the national attention around protests and questions of anti-Semitism has been focused on college campuses,

there have been concerns about incidents at some high schools too,

and that was the focus of another charged hearing today on Capitol Hill.

The hearing gave House Republicans a chance to confront officials from liberal cities about

reports of anti-Semitism in their school districts. Lisa De Jardin has the report.

The Subcommittee on Early Childhood Elementary and Secondary Education will come to order.

After two high-profile hearings on anti-Semitism in higher education, House Republicans

today shifted to K through 12. The leaders of three public school districts in

liberal areas, Berkeley, California, Montgomery County, Maryland, and New York City in the hot

seat.

But just like some college presidents before you, that sat in the very same seats.

This after some high schools have seen pro-Palestinian protests include anti-Semitic

chance or threats. For example, in November students at Hillcrest High School in

New York took overhauls, yelling about and looking for a Jewish teacher who had posted a pro-Israel photo.

New York Mayor Eric Adams condemned the incident.

Today, the Big Apple's schools chief, David Banks, said his agency takes this and other incidents seriously.

We have suspended at least 30 students.

We've involved the NYPD when hate crimes are committed and we retrain all 1,600 principles on our discipline code to

ensure that it is enforced properly. But Republicans especially wanted more

accountability.

I mean, I'm hearing nice words, really nice words here, teaching, redirecting, directing.

What I'm missing is discipline, and I'm missing the word fired.
