NYC High School Teacher Forced To Hide in Locked Office “In Vile Show of Anti-Semitism”

Teenagers at Jamaica’s Hillcrest High School, who discovered a Facebook post a Facebook post of the teacher attending a rally holding a sign that read, “I stand with Israel,” forcing the teacher to be evacuated by police.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the incident which shut down the Hight School for two hours on Monday and forced the teacher to hide inside a locked office while the students rampaged down the halls.

Adams said city officials are investigating a “vile show of antisemitism” in which students at a high school in Queens reportedly rioted after learning a teacher attended a rally in support of Eretz Yisroel.

“The vile show of Anti-Semitism was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere else in our city,” Adams wrote on X.

“Making statements of condemnation and “we will not tolerate this in our city” is nice.” Councilwoman and Minority Whip Inna Vernikov of Flatbush responded to the mayor. “However, these statements from politicians are USELESS, if they are not followed up by REAL ACTION. Demand better from your elected representatives”
