Schools must now include antisemitism in safeguarding.

But anti-Muslim hatred in schools continues to be handled under existing anti-bullying, anti-racism policies.

A new government report out today.

I'm not sure about this. Aren't all forms of racism equally destructive, and shouldn't they all be dealt with in the same manner to ensure fairness?

Perhaps they already have programmes to deal with Islamophobia, and that's why antisemitism is being highlighted at the moment, to add it to the mix?
I don't know enough about the current curriculum.

I agree that all forms are destructive, and all should receive the same fair treatment.

I am unsure how antisemitism policing can be added to the already heavy demands placed on teachers. I'm not sure how it presents itself within a school environment.

Good.
Antisemitism needs to be addressed and I am not sure it is at present.

Surely it's a matter of bullying? This it could be included in classes about anti lots of things eg misogyny, homophobia, travellers etc etc. It's a sad fact of modern life that all sorts of groups of people are prejudiced against.
