The ongoing government shutdown and President Donald Trump's policies have created significant uncertainty regarding mental health funding for schools. Julie Giannini-Previde, superintendent of the McKinleyville Union School District in California, expressed concern, commenting: "You have to be under a rock as an educational leader to not be worried about how any of this is going to happen." The Education Department has introduced new priorities for $270m in mental health grants, limiting funding to school psychologists while excluding counselors and social workers. Advocates worry that these changes, coupled with the cancellation of previously approved grants, will hinder recruitment and planning efforts in schools. Meanwhile, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) downplayed these concerns, urging a focus on facts rather than fear.

Tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas war have led to a notable increase in antisemitism within U.S. K-12 schools, particularly following the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Reports indicate that antisemitic incidents in non-Jewish schools reached 860 last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League. In response, various states have enacted measures to address antisemitism, with some laws defining certain criticisms of Israel as hate speech. Critics argue that these definitions may suppress legitimate discourse. The National Education Association has also faced internal conflict over the influence of the Anti-Defamation League in educational materials.

On Friday, students from various educational institutions in Texas held three demonstrations to protest against political interference in their schools, rallying under the slogan “Hands Off Our Youth.” The protests were organized amid rising tensions in higher education, where conservative pressures threaten to eliminate diverse voices and programs. Farah Saba and Kyra Newton, high school seniors, led a march from Huston-Tillotson University to the Capitol, emphasizing the need for access to education. “We want access to our education, whatever education that we want to have,” Newton said. The protests also targeted a deal proposed by the Trump administration that could compromise academic independence in exchange for federal funding.

Tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas war have led to a notable increase in antisemitism within U.S. K-12 schools, with advocates reporting a rise in incidents since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Various states have enacted measures to address antisemitism, with some laws defining certain criticisms of Israel as hate speech. Kristen Thompson, a Republican state senator in Oklahoma, stated, “These bills make it clear that Oklahoma stands with our Jewish communities and will not tolerate hatred disguised as political discourse." However, civil liberties groups warn that these measures may suppress pro-Palestinian speech. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 860 antisemitic incidents in non-Jewish schools last year, highlighting the growing concern.
