MORE ANTISEMITISM AT FIELDSTON

In “‘No Zionists’ and ‘No Straights’: Tweets from Teacher Rattle Elite New York City School” (Washington Free Beacon, Jan 9), Adam Kredo exposes even more anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism at Fieldston School, this time from history teacher J.B. Brager. Bad enough? This particular teacher was slated to teach an elective history course titled “Nazi Germany and the Holocaust” later this month.Plus, when Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and Congressman Max Rose (NY-11) got word about the anti-Semite who Fieldston forced on their students at a required assembly, their response in a letter to Fieldston’s leadership was perfect:

There should be no place in our national discourse for hate-filled speech targeting any group. As Jewish Members of Congress dedicated to combatting anti-Semitism, we would like to understand how such a speaker could be invited to address ECFS students, what steps the school has taken to hold those responsible accountable, how the school has communicated to students and parents that such rhetoric is unacceptable, and how ECFS will implement processes to prevent future incidents. By drawing comparisons between the Holocaust and the State of Israel, these statements misrepresent current events while devaluing the horrors of the attempt to eliminate European Jewry.

Breaking News: Fieldston has fired J.B. Brager.

Plus, anti-Semitism continues around the globe:
A 30-year old Jewish man was beaten and subjected to anti-Semitic abuse on Tuesday on a Berlin subway:
A man in Toronto finds a swastika scrawled on his Alzheimer-stricken uncle’s head; and
A Holocaust monument and newly renovated synagogue were vandalized in Greece.
Thankfully, we have Mick Jagger!
