Human rights organizations filed a federal civil rights complaint against the Berkeley Unified School District Feb. 28 claiming “severe and persistent” harassment and discrimination of Jewish students.

The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (Brandeis Center) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) filed the complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.
