Nysmith allegedly allowed antisemetic bullying and expelled the kids who's parents complained

[Anonymous]

A crisis communications program. Firing the teacher, every admin, and the head. Bankruptcy.

Nysmith is a for-profit school, which is pretty sketchy to start with. And it’s clear it’s sketchiness all the way down.

Punitive damages that could likely exceed the limits of their insurance policies (not to mention that the insurance companies would have a plausible claim of gross negligence to not cover it at all).

Wouldn't be surprised to see this result in either the school being sold, Nysmith being forced to resign or bankruptcy. Heck, maybe the PIF will be the white knight and merge it with its previously abandoned project.

Or, it could merge with St. Anselm's to create an elite training ground for the study of gifted racist bullying.

You sound unhinged--you just lost credibility on any sense of realism.

Plaintiffs are asking for an apology and policies to combative antisemitism at the school. Whatever that means.

Which is fine but if OCR AND Miyares are investigating it could get ugly. Miyares is disgusting but a stopped clock something something.

I am shocked and appalled that the other non jewish parents in that school didn't absolutely flip out and hit the roof at the school for having their young elementary kids draw a giant, positive, happy poster of effing Hitler then had the audacity to take a picture of them smiling holding the hitler picture, then blasting the happy hitler photo of my kid out to who knows how many people

Wtf is wrong with the leadership, teachers and parents at that school?! Are they all a bunch of psychotic, antisemitic, hitler loving sociopaths? On what planet would that poster and photo be okay for any rational civil person's minor child?

Agree. Hitler was awful and kids should not be glorifying him. And also, people shouldn’t throw around the label Hitler when they disagree with someone politically.

There's a thread on Reddit where at least one parent of currently enrolled students discussed the issue.

I think most people with past or present ties to the school are being very quiet on purpose.

No one can fire the head. He’s the owner.

Not that hard to understand what that means, no?

Well, the allegations are terrible and mortifying.

If they are identified through an interview, even if they don't give out their name, the HOS could decide "no school for you!" I would personally take my almost 40,000 a year and send my kid to public school and get enrichment if needed. By high school anyone can sign up for honors or APs, so sign up for those.

Posted too soon...until high school you just get outside enrichment where you feel you kid needs it. Much less expensive than private school. You can send them to enrichment camps over the summer too.

This is a valid choice and it works for some families. There are others who are dissatisfied with their local public schools and want a different option. If money isn't an issue there's no reason to stay in public.
