Switzerland Launches Anti-Hate Campaign in Schools Amid Rising Antisemitism

In response to a surge in antisemitic incidents in Bern’s schools, authorities have launched a preventative campaign titled ‘Together Against Hate.’ The initiative, backed by the Bern police and 30 religious organizations, aims to educate students about boundaries in interactions to curb hate speech and bullying, especially against Jewish and Muslim students. Parents express concerns about their children’s safety, with reports of offensive imagery and gestures in schools. Officials emphasize that while schools reflect societal issues, they must take a definitive stance against discrimination.
