Philadelphia mayor slams ‘unacceptable’ protest against Jewish-owned shops on Nazi terror anniversary

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker condemned an upcoming protest targeting Jewish-owned businesses on the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary — saying that hate “has no place in our city.” The Democratic mayor addressed the planned Sunday anti-Israel protest in the city’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square neighborhood in a scathing statement on X Thursday . “Everyone has the right to peacefully protest and express their political views. But singling out businesses because their owners are Jewish is unacceptable and has no place in our city,” Parker wrote. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker labeled the bicycle protest organized by anti-Israel activists targeting businesses with Jewish owners as “unacceptable.” REUTERS Parker shared her statement on X on Thursday. Credit: X/@PhillyMayor Philly’s Nazi-laden boycott proves it was never actually about Palestine — just the Jews “No one should be targeted, threatened, or made to feel unwelcome because of their faith, identity, or background.

It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether
