众院教育与劳动力委员会报告点名费城学区教材：学区将集中编写社会研究课程
位于宾夕法尼亚州费拉德尔菲亚县的费城学区，被美国国会众议院教育与劳动力委员会10月21日发布的调查报告点名。委员会称，其调查在费城学区部分课堂教材中发现涉及反犹内容与政治灌输的材料；报告同时涉及加州伯克利联合学区与全国教育协会。本稿所述内容为委员会单方调查结论，双方说法如下。
委员会主席 Tim Walberg 表示，调查发现一份世界历史作业要求学生向一个抵抗运动致敬，并将一个获哈马斯背书的行动列为选项；另一课则要求学生把美国与以色列标注为「恐怖分子」。他称，家长送孩子上学是学读写与数学的，不是被教去仇恨以色列或接受激进政治主张，犹太学生应能在教室里感到安全。委员会称，调查是在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列后反犹事件激增的背景下启动的；据反诽谤联盟统计，2023年全美K-12学校反犹事件同比上升135%。
委员会称，经过多年投诉，费城学区已告知委员会，将不再由教师与行政人员编写社会研究课程，改为集中编写，其社会研究课程主任目前正面临解职程序。犹太公共事务委员会首席执行官 Amy Spitalnick 10月21日发表声明回应称，反犹与犹太包容确有真实挑战，但该报告的一些说法与其机构过去一年与全国教育协会合作开展的反犹项目并不相符，一份蓄意曲解或无视既有工作的报告只服务于政治议程，而非犹太学生与教育者的利益。委员会表示将继续相关调查。

House Education and Workforce Committee Report Names Philadelphia School Materials: District to Centralize Social Studies Curriculum Writing
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — The School District of Philadelphia, in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, was named in an investigative report released on October 21 by the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce. The committee said its investigation found antisemitic content and political indoctrination in some Philadelphia classroom materials; the report also covers California's Berkeley Unified School District and the National Education Association. The findings described here are the committee's own conclusions, with responses from both sides presented below.
Committee Chairman Tim Walberg said the investigation found a world history assignment asking students to honor a resistance movement, listing a Hamas-endorsed campaign as an option, and another lesson asking students to label the United States and Israel as terrorists. He said parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing and math, not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes, and that Jewish students deserve to feel safe in their classrooms. The committee said it launched the investigations after antisemitic incidents surged following Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel; according to the Anti-Defamation League, antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools increased by 135 percent in 2023.
The committee said that after years of complaints, the Philadelphia district told the committee it would stop allowing teachers and administrators to write social studies curricula and would instead centralize that work, and that its social studies curriculum director is undergoing termination proceedings. Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, responded in an October 21 statement that countering antisemitism presents real challenges, but that a number of the report's claims were new to her organization despite its year of partnership with the NEA on antisemitism programming, and that a report that misrepresents or ignores work done to date serves a political agenda rather than the interests of Jewish students and educators. The committee said it will continue its investigations. (GSM, based on the House Education and Workforce Committee release and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs statement)
