TL;DR

A new FBI report reveals a rise in hate crimes at schools and colleges, with school-based offenses accounting for 10% of all reported hate crime offenses in 2022. African American or Black individuals were the most common victims, followed by those targeted based on religion and LGBTQ+ identity. The pandemic-related shift to online learning in 2020 led to a decrease in reported hate crimes at schools, but 2022 saw a spike back to pre-pandemic levels. Incidents of discrimination and hate-fueled assaults have been reported across various campuses, contributing to an overall increase in hate crimes nationwide.
