The Anti-Defamation League reported 203 physical attacks on Jews in the US in 2025, marking the highest number since tracking began in 1979.

Key Points

Implications for Educational Freedom
Rising antisemitic assaults could impact Jewish students’ safety in K-12 and higher education settings, potentially increasing demand for school choice options like vouchers and charters to enable parents to select safer, more supportive environments. This aligns with EFI’s emphasis on parental rights and educational freedom to avoid government-run schools where such issues may persist.
