Before listeners download Part 2 of this series, we want to offer a content warning. This discussion centers on antisemitism and related issues of discrimination, bias, and hate speech. Some of the examples and language referenced may be difficult to hear. Our intention in sharing this conversation is educational, to provide context, raise awareness, and help Title VI practitioners navigate these complex challenges. Please listen with care, and know that some listeners may prefer to step away or skip this episode if the subject matter feels too heavy.

This week on More Likely Than Not, Kayleigh and Joe continue their discussion with Brett A. Sokolow, J.D., ATIXA founder and TNG chair, for part two of a series on antisemitism in education. Brett offers compliance guidance and best practices under Title VI, from policy development to nondiscrimination response. Together, they explore how schools can distinguish between protected speech and discriminatory conduct, discussing denial of access and the value of proactive communication with protest organizers.

If you’re wondering about policy and procedure best practices for addressing various phobias and “isms” in schools, we’re more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.
