The effect of public and private schooling on anti-Semitism

Many Jewish groups oppose school choice on the assertion that American public schools promote diversity and tolerance, whereas private — especially religious — schools may not do that as effectively. University of Arkansas professor Jay P. Greene finds that with anti-Semitism, the opposite may be the case.

In his new report, he administers the Anti-Defamation League’s anti-Semitism index to a large, representative sample of US adults and finds that having attended a private school as a child is associated with significantly more favorable attitudes toward Jews, on average, than having attended public school.

Please join AEI for a presentation of the paper, followed by an expert discussion of the study’s implications for school choice and civil society.
