The German Bundestag has passed a resolution targeting antisemitism in schools and universities, sparking a heated debate.
While proponents see it as a necessary step to combat rising antisemitism, critics argue it infringes on academic freedom and autonomy.
The resolution, supported by major parties including the SPD, Greens, and FDP, also received backing from the AfD, raising concerns among some scholars.
Researchers warn the move could lead to political interference in education and question the use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism.
The resolution calls for measures like increased teacher training and ensuring safety for Jewish students, but it lacks legal enforceability.
The controversy highlights the tension between combating hate and preserving academic independence.
