I live near one block from Langley HS and the neighborhood is about 50% Jewish and very wealthy.
My younger sister also lives in that neighborhood. She is Asian married to a Jewish husband. Their kids call themselves "Chew", LOL......

Back to the main question, we live near Agudas Achim in Alexandria and there are a lot of member families nearby that send their kids to either George Mason Elementary or Mount Vernon in Del Ray.

I thought "One Fairfax" was supposed to prevent this type of thing. I guess it does unless you are making a point against Trump.
Seems to me the fault lies with whomever displayed the picture without presenting the context that it was meant to ridicule ethnic stereotypes. But the teacher should have recognized this, and ensured context was presented, rather than go off on a political rant against Trump.
Whoever.
The question is why was that particular picture chosen to be the example? The girl's name indicates that she is likely Muslim--I don't know that for sure, but it seems there would have been some extra sensitivity given to not displaying an anti-Semitic cartoon. Especially, in light of all the discussion about Ilhan Omar and her anti-Semitic rants.

But there are clearly some areas with almost no Jews, eg the Route 1 corridor, parts of Prince William, much of South Arlington, upper Great Falls, etc. So, either the demographic estimates are off, or you'd think there would be a few schools with >10%.
Why do you think there are no Jews in S. Arlington?
South Arlington resident here- I've learned that "South Arlington" is often a euphemism for "where the non-whites live."
Brown person here: I think there's a couple around.
