[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ this.  Plus the current families defending the school, makes me think the entire thing is fabricated.[/quote]

There is always two sides to a story. This is part of the Washington Post story today:

“ It says that harassment worsened after school officials hung a Palestinian flag in the gym. But Nysmith said the gym already featured flags from more than 50 countries, including Israel. In another incident, the complaint says, students in a social studies class were asked to produce a composite drawing of a strong historical leader, and the resulting image had “the unmistakable face of Adolf Hitler.” Nysmith told The Washington Post last summer that one of the students who produced that drawing was Jewish, descended from a Holocaust survivor, and that the image was being viewed out of context. “This was not a glorification of anything,” he said.

Vazquez had been heavily involved with the school, but the relationship soured after a contentious meeting March 11, two days before the expulsions. Roy and Vazquez said that in the meeting, the headmaster said their daughter should “toughen up,” which Nysmith has denied.

He said he asked the couple whether they were accusing him of being antisemitic. Roy and Vazquez said in their filing that they “immediately responded that they were not saying that.”

(And then they immediately go to the Brandeis Center to sue him for being antisemetic.)[/quote]
