"One in five #university #students in #Britain would be reluctant to share a house with a #Jewish #student, according to research that warns #antisemitism has become “normalised” on #campuses.

A report by the Union of Jewish Students (#UJS) found that 20 per cent of students would be reluctant to live with a Jewish student, while 23 per cent have seen behaviour targeting Jewish students for their #religion or #ethnicity.

The findings come from polling of 1,000 students of all faiths and none, alongside dozens of testimonies gathered from the student body.

The report said Jewish students had described facing physical and verbal abuse, social ostracisation and widespread #antisemitic attitudes on campuses."

Yes, OK- but see: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse. If this sort of thing isn't tackled, & if #children & young people don't feel safe in our #schools because of their #gender, their #ethnicity, #nationality, #disability, #sexuality or #genderidentity, then the "anti-bullying policies" of those schools aren't worth the paper they're printed on!
