A controversial antisemitic flyer urging teachers to vote for candidates supporting pension fund divestment from Israel was improperly distributed in various New York City public schools. Incidentally coinciding with the tragic killing of two Israeli Embassy employees, the flyer has drawn condemnation from Jewish civil rights groups like the Anti-Defamation League for promoting antisemitism. Outraged educators expressed shock and concern over the presence of such propaganda in school environments, emphasizing the need for respect and inclusion in educational spaces.
This act of hate is unacceptable. Our schools and communities must remain places of inclusion and respect for all.
As a Jewish educator, I was deeply troubled when receiving this letter with clear antisemitic undertones - especially in the wake of the tragic killing of two civilians targeted for being Jewish.
