NYC tries to blame remote school failures on students with summer guilt trip
New York City public schools just can’t quit remote learning, no matter how much of an educational and logistical disaster it’s proven to be again and again. Witness the latest debacle: Schools trying to guilt trip parents into forcing their kids to log on during an upcoming day off. Why should schoolkids be wasting time logging into Zoom instead of playing outside on a beautiful early June day, you ask? Because last time the schools tried to go full remote, during a February snow day, the system crashed. So now — the moronic argument runs — the onus is on kids to help the...
NYC teacher’s groups push anti-Israel walkout by hundreds of public school students
Hundreds of New York City kids walked out of school Friday and staged a pro-Palestinian protest that was promoted by several radical teacher groups. Some 350 students had descended on the Department of Education headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan starting by 4 p.m..

Top NYC private school devolves into ‘hotbed of Jew-hate’ as parents detail teacher flipping off rabbis, group trying to ‘cancel’ Holocaust survivor
One of the top private schools in the country has “devolved” into a “hotbed of Jew-hate,” parents charge. A Jewish student who graduated from the Ethical Fieldston School in the Bronx was tormented by classmates calling him an “ethnic cleaner” and a “colonizer” and even witnessed a teacher give rabbis the middle finger at an assembly, according to his mom. “Fieldston is a hotbed of Jew-hate and these terror-supporting students are the epitome of the ‘trigger warning’ generation,” Dr. Logan Levkoff said in an Instagram post. Levkoff’s Tuesday post came in response to a student letter that defended a classmate accused...
Head of swanky NYC prep school accused of ripping antisemitism task force as ‘power play by Jewish families’
The head of a swanky Manhattan prep school allegedly ripped a newly created antisemitism task force as a “joke” and nothing more than a “power play by Jewish families” to have him ousted, according to a new lawsuit. Collegiate School’s top administrator, David Lourie, is accused of deriding the task force after it was set up by the school’s board of trustees to weed out any potential antisemitism on the Upper West Side campus in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks, papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court allege. The claims were laid bare in a wide-ranging gender...
