On Friday, The New York Times published “Swastikas, Slurs and Torment in Town’s Schools,” a story about anti-Semitic incidents in an upstate New York school district. Jewish students there report verbal abuse and swastikas on “walls, desks, lockers, textbooks, computer screens, a playground slide – even on a student’s face.”
This is exactly the prejudice–the every day hate–that Tanenbaum is committed to stopping.
That’s why I submitted a letter to the editor that was published this morning in the print and online version of The New York Times.
I invite you to read the story – and my response. Let me know if you see any such prejudice in your life. Let me know if you’ve worked to stop it – or if Tanenbaum can be of help in any way. And please let your friends know about this problem and about how we are standing up against it!
Warmly,
Joyce S. Dubensky, CEO
