Schools: New Antisemitism Study Rejected by Council

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm conduct a new survey of antisemitism in its schools and preschools and develop an action plan, citing increased antisemitism following events in Israel and Gaza since the last 2021 study. While acknowledging the importance of combating antisemitism, the majority of committees and city councilors rejected the motion, stating that ongoing local and national initiatives and surveys need to be completed and analyzed first, with further specific studies potentially considered later. The Liberals maintained their proposal, criticizing existing plans as too vague and insufficiently focused on antisemitism.
