[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side comment:  We just went to a panel of high schoolers, who spoke about their experiences in DC schools.  Every Jewish child in a non-Jewish school had experienced anti-semitism, from having swastikas on their lockers to being told by teachers that the Jews made up to holocaust.  I was shocked by how overt it was.[/quote]

My own DCPS child was told that she killed Jesus when she was in middle school. She's smart enough to know that it was a stupid statement by an uninformed tween and brushed it off but still...[/quote]

The same thing happened to me in what was known as a liberal area. It was actually in 2nd grade and someone wrote it on the back of my notebook.

I have also been told that:

- I'm going to hell because I haven't accepted Jesus
- My religion isn't authentic and real because it doesn't include Jesus
- Anti-Semitism isn't really a problem because, in one person's view, Jews are white. Essentially this person was saying we shouldn't be complaining.

Our JCC was the victim of a bomb threat. Our synagogue had a swastika spray painted on it. I'm also the poster who went to Georgetown, which had the anti-Semitic incidents I talked about.
