1. Maybe there's outside agitators in the high school?

Have we checked the cafeterias?

One of the things that always gets me about the denial of antisemitism is that part of that denial is refusing to acknowledge that Jew hatred is frequently taught in our own educational institutions without much push back. They're the teachers and the faculty who bring it into the classroom.

So then it appears - magically! - on campuses and it's suddenly, "Oh, must be outsiders. The students could never think these things!"

Like, how thick is this gaslighting going to go? They really think we cannot see it. Like a great dane with its head under the couch and its ass way up in the air. "You can't seeeee meeee!"

These are adults. That one always gets me. Students? Ok. They don't know much, they don't have context, they just know they have to stand for something. Whatever. But middle-aged adults peddling this stuff?

That's malice.

Edit: And might I just add, these people have boxed Jewish black people into passing. What a treat for everyone.
