Swastikas, antisemitic and homophobic language printed in 8th grade yearbook of NY’s UN school – report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Nations International School in New York cancelled an end of year party for 8th graders after the discovery of swastikas and antisemitic and homophobic comments printed in students’ yearbooks, the Ynet news site reports.
Parents at the school tell the outlet that it is just the latest incident at the private school, which is currently facing a lawsuit from a Jewish teacher who said the institution was hostile to Jews and Israelis.
According to Ynet, the school identified nearly 20 students suspected of being involved in the publication of the hate language and symbols.
The report says the school told parents that “the severity of the situation and the broad impact on our community make the current timing inappropriate for a celebration.”
