Multiple federal and state laws protect Jewish students from antisemitism in Maryland K-12 schools. Here's what applies to your case.
Federal law prohibits schools receiving federal funding from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin. OCR guidance confirms this covers antisemitic discrimination targeting Jewish students based on shared ancestry or ethnic heritage.
Maryland state law prohibits discrimination in education based on religion. Jewish students subjected to antisemitic harassment in Maryland public or private schools may have claims under state civil rights law in addition to federal Title VI protections.
Maryland requires schools to report hate-based incidents. Failure to properly report, document, or respond to antisemitic incidents strengthens claims that a school district created or maintained a hostile environment.
Maryland's largest school systems have adopted explicit anti-harassment and antisemitism policies. Violations of these local policies, in addition to federal and state law, create actionable civil rights claims.
Maryland — particularly Montgomery County and the Baltimore metro area — has a large Jewish community and has documented antisemitic incidents in public schools. The 180-day filing window for OCR complaints begins from the most recent incident.
