Hatred Relived
I saw this letter in today's Newsday and decided to share it here.
Several years ago a young man in one of my classes wanted to know if I would dance if he threw pennies at me. I reported him immediately to Mr. AP and asked to have him removed due to blatant anti-semitism. Mr. AP refused and vehemently repeated that the remark was not related to anti-semitism. We got into a heated fight. Thankfully the Principal took my side with both the boy and the Mr. AP.
Not experiencing something first hand does not mean it does not exist. This letter brought back painful memories.
