A New Jersey district has drawn criticism for not honoring settlement terms over a Jewish family’s lawsuit alleging antisemitic attacks against a high school student.
“By refusing to send out the statement about antisemitism in the same way it routinely communicates about all kinds of issues, the district sends a message that the safety and well-being of Jewish students and families are not its priority,” write Susan B. Tuchman and Jeffrey Schreiber in a commentary published by the Courier-Post.
“This message is especially damaging given the current climate of hate targeting Jews. The Anti-Defamation League recently reported that New Jersey has the third-highest number of antisemitic incidents in the country, and the problem is scarily escalating elsewhere.”
