State Cites District Over Anti-Semitic Harassment of Girl
The state Attorney General’s office says a school district failed to sufficiently address anti-Semitic harassment of a Jewish student.
The office on Thursday announced the finding against the Monmouth County Vocational School District. A parent had alleged last year that her daughter was subjected to unlawful discrimination at the district-run Marine Academy of Science and Technology high school at Sandy Hook.
Among the incidents cited was one in which two male students wrote an anti-Semitic comment in large letters in the sand at a school-sponsored event. They then circulated a photo of the message.
The school disciplined the two students. But state officials say it apparently failed to take any broader actions to discern the extent of anti-Semitic behavior at the school or address the reported concerns.
A message left for school officials on Thursday was not returned.
