AMERICAN jewish ES students are slandering each other calling nonjewish children antisemitic and the parents are defending the bigoted behavior. This is disgusting. I am sorry but this is a hate crime as well. Perhaps all ES should have a mandatory Jewish cultural course so nonjews learn at a young age what is permitted or prohibited to say to jewish children.

Definitely neither (a) saying whatever the non-Jewish kids said or (b) calling them antisemitic is a hate crime. You can say whatever you want about Jews. Just don’t shoot us.

Why is it acceptable to go around branding children as antisemitic? Shouldn’t this be stopped?

What did the child say?

He said he felt bad for Palestinians then was branded antisemitic.

Dear Lord.

1. If we adopt the historic progressive definition that was applied to all minority groups prior to 10/7, antisemitism is anything that makes a Jewish person feel uncomfortable. By this standard, your friend’s DC likely has implicit bias against Jews and unconsciously “others” them and holds them to different standards than non Jews.

2. However, the left has now abandoned this standard (for Jews only) and now considers nothing to be antisemitism except for actual physical violence against non practicing Jews who wear keffiyehs, eat watermelon, and wave Hamas flags.

I am furious because we have no dog in this fight. We are neither muslim nor jewish, we’re not middle eastern.

There’s probably more than that. But if that is all he said then it sounds like a misunderstanding between the parents. My rule of thumb is to let the school handle stuff like this and don’t respond.

We live in a densely populated jewish area, my autistic nonjewish DC is the ‘other’ here being accused of being antisemitic.

People say the same on this site and are called the same. There is a real fear for people to say anything sympathetic or else lose friends, or be branded “pro-Hamas”, etc.

Are kids supposed to understand the nuance here? If one is nonjewish how and where will one learn this?

In addition everything DC has learned about Judiaism has been via his jewish peer, including vulgar terms directed towards Jews and the blacks as well.

It just seems like we all need a thorough education on Judaism and what we are allowed to say to Jews without being branded as antisemites. It’s a fine line we’re walking. We need more education on the topic.

It’s up to the school to be reasonable about this, but the “woke” school system kind of went crazy and turned incidents between kids into full-on “bias” investigations turned over to the police in some cases. This happened to my own (Jewish autistic) kid who was reported for a comment that was supposedly racists (it was not). My advice is to let the school handle things to a point but if they start making threats to report it out then you stand up for your kid. definitely ignore the parents.

This is all assuming OP’s child actually said what she says and not something else. But even if the kid said something objectively offensive it would ideally be handled in an age appropriate way.

for the record my kid now reports that other kids seem to have no issues with saying truly antisemitic stuff at his school (like “I agree with Kanye”) and he knows that reporting it will get nowhere.

There’s plenty out there to educate yourself. I can tell you that every time a Jewish person posts on DCUM to relate sincerely a fear or an incident, the antisemites come out en masse to dispute and spew even more antisemitic stuff. So you need to understand the limitations of how you can expect Jews to educate you.

meanwhile if you feel like you should be allowed to say whatever you want then yeah you may cross lines.
