New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks will appear before a congressional committee Wednesday to testify about antisemitism in public schools.
WASHINGTON -- New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks was in Washington on Tuesday, preparing to testify before the same congressional committee that's grilled college presidents. The focus this time is antisemitism in grades K-12.'Antisemitism is a vile scourge that cannot stand in our public schools,' Banks told CBS New York's Marcia Kramer.
'We've got to continue to educate, and some of the biggest challenges we really face are the bias that we find in our own adults, some of our teachers, some of our administrators, who are bringing some of their own political opinions into the schools and into the classroom. You cannot tolerate that. We have to provide a classroom setting which is fair and is balanced,' Banks said.
