Many Jewish high school seniors in Southern California are rethinking their college plans because of protests and anti-Semitism on university campuses.
KNX News' Emily Valdez spoke with Linoy, a Jewish senior in the West San Fernando Valley, who said, "I don't want to leave home and feel unsafe because I didn't do all this work to not feel safe."
"There are some days where I just spend hours scrolling and I see so many articles, so many videos, so many hate crimes against us. It's absolutely disgusting," said Linoy.

Shiloh, another San Fernando Valley senior, wanted to attend a four-year university, but "It was just like every place I was considering applying to. I was just like, no, no, I just can't, I can't physically be there and watch that every day. I won't succeed."
So she is opting for community college instead, saying, "I think that I want to wait two years, let things calm down, and then decide if I even want to go in the end."
Students and civil rights groups have filed lawsuits against many of the universities, alleging they failed to protect Jewish students.
