[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s how it probably went down …
1) Legitimate anti-Semitic bullying
2) Ridiculous class project allowing Hitler to be portrayed in an elementary school project about strong leaders (not old enough to understand the nuance)
3) Family is angry, afraid, and complains rationally
4) School grossly bungles subsequent actions (cancelling Holocaust survivor AND displaying Palestinian flag in the midst - intentional or not, comes across as biased against complainant)
5) School does not adequately protect Jewish students
6) Family is (understandably) no longer rationally upset - threatens legal action, gets overly heated or aggressive with the Head of School, or makes demands the school cannot/will not meet
7) HoS expels students due to parents not following expected code of conduct in interactions with staff

School needs a new HoS and a new lawyer …

You kind of summed up what I was thinking transpired.  From the letter the HoS wrote the parents, it sounds like the conversation was extremely emotional (I understand why).  It's hard to see how the kids could continue to go there under any circumstance.  I don't think I would want my child there--and I am not Jewish.

It seems to me that people are bending over backwards to not be Islamaphobic.

How about no Palestinian flags, no Israeli flags, no Pride flags.  Just American and Virginia maybe?

And, I was a teacher.  It would not be hard to discourage a child from choosing Hitler as a "strong" historical leader.  And, these are supposed to be "gifted" kids.  They should understand "nuance."[/quote]
What does Pride have to do with anything, PP? Why are you bringing up your hatred of the LGBTQ+ community in this thread?[/quote]
