Woke $63K-a-year NYC school that boasts about its commitment to DEI targeted by hateful anti-Israel graffiti
NY Post
A tony New York City private school that prides itself as a bastion of cultural diversity and tolerance was vandalized with ugly anti-Israel graffiti — in at least the fifth disturbing incident involving race or religion to impact the Bronx campus in the last decade.
Two seniors wearing keffiyehs wrote “Free Palestine” in chalk in large yellow letters on the brick wall above the $63,000-a-year Ethical Culture Fieldston School’s front entrance Monday afternoon, a source told The Post.
The hostile vandalism was apparently livestreamed by the teens, the source said, though it was not known whether a recording of it existed.
The concerning incident prompted school administrators to host a “listening session” with parents Wednesday night, including many “Jewish affinity group parents.”
“Many parents were upset but it’s not clear if the administration has decided to do anything yet,” the source said.
“The biggest issue is that when things pop up around antisemitism, they are not taken as seriously as issues like racism or homophobia.
