Bullying

LDB Legal Advisor and San Francisco civil rights litigator Joel Siegal has posted an informative article on his blog which discusses the use of courts to eliminate bullying in the school.  Siegal is counsel to Jessica Felber in her campus anti-Semitism case against the University of California at Berkeley.  With attorney Neal Sher, he filed a Title VI complaint against Berkeley with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, alleging that Berkeley maintains a hostile environment for Jewish college students.  That case is still pending before OCR.  In his new blog entry, Joel describes the legal background for these cases.  He also gives a nice shout-out to the Brandeis Center and our president, Kenneth L. Marcus, for our work to eradicate religious bullying in the public schools as well as religious harassment and anti-Semitism in universities and colleges.
