Cuomo orders probe into anti-Semitic harassment allegations in Pine Bush schools

Eyewitness News

PINE BUSH (WABC) -- Governor Cuomo is ordering an investigation into allegations of anti-Semitic harassment at a school district in upstate New York.

Quite simply the allegations are appalling. Students say they were viciously bullied in the PBSD, just because they're Jewish. But as Eyewitness News arrived in town Friday night, we were surrounded by a diverse group of parents who insist there's a lot more to this story.

"I would think as a relatively small rural community it would have been something parents would have known," said Holly Roche, a parent.

Holly Roche is Jewish herself and lived there for years.
