Anti-Semitism in our schools?

On Wednesday night, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) voted not to censure Alexandra Lulka, a Jewish trustee member, by a vote of 10-7. How did this even come about? 

Last Spring, she found evidence as to Anti-Semitic educational writings. When she raised the issue, she then became a target.

Fortunately, she was vindicated. However, larger concerns still remain. 

This past week, individual rabbis, including myself, wrote our concerns to the TDSB, as did the Toronto Board of Rabbis, and many Jewish organizations. All of us must  continue to be vigilant.

There is no place for Anti-Semitism, racism, prejudice, or bigotry of any kind in our school system and in society as a whole.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Howard Morrison
