Summary
A June 11 federal complaint accuses Boulder Valley School District of allowing nearly two years of antisemitic harassment against an eighth-grade Jewish student at Southern Hills Middle School.
The filing says the abuse culminated in December 2025 when a classmate wrapped a laptop charger around the student's neck, dragged him backward and used an antisemitic slur, prompting a police investigation.
ADL says earlier and later incidents included "Jew touch tag" in April 2025 and an April 2026 remark that Hitler should have killed all Jews, despite prior findings that the student faced a hostile environment.
A safety plan and protective order were imposed after the assault, but the order was violated on its first day, according to ADL, which is seeking an apology and districtwide antisemitism training.
The case lands amid broader concern over anti-Jewish incidents in Colorado, where ADL recorded 167 antisemitic episodes in 2025.
