Overview

  • On August 7, the Office for Civil Rights launched a formal Title VI investigation into Baltimore City Public Schools to assess alleged systemic antisemitism.
  • The probe stems from an Anti-Defamation League complaint that district officials ignored incidents such as Nazi salutes, swastika graffiti and threats against Jewish students.
  • Acting Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor called the reported conduct appalling and pledged a vigorous review under federal civil rights law.
  • District spokesperson Andre Riley confirmed the teacher accused of making Nazi-inspired remarks remains employed as the review proceeds.
  • Baltimore City Public Schools has affirmed its commitment to tolerance and civility and urged students and families to report any harassment while the investigation continues.
