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...

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.

Levkoff’s Tuesday post came in response to a student letter that defended a classmate accused...
