In a series of incidents at Origins High School in Brooklyn, NYC, allegations of antisemitism have prompted calls for the firing of school officials. Reports emerged of a student posing as Hitler, alongside other claims of antisemitic behavior, including Hitler jabs and death threats directed at Jewish teachers and students. The situation escalated as more teachers came forward with stories of a hostile environment, encompassing not only antisemitism but also racism and homophobia. The Department of Education's response, as articulated by spokesperson Dan Weisberg, appeared to downplay the severity of these reports. This controversy comes in the wake of a threatening antisemitic email received by Jewish teachers at the school.
