(JEWISH GROUP) Boston principal apologizes to Muslim, Arab students who felt 'unsafe' after Holocaust lesson [View all]

Jewish groups have condemned a Boston school principal for an email he sent apologizing to Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and Lebanese students who were offended by a mandatory Holocaust lesson.

In the email, William Diamond Middle School Principal Johnny Cole said he was “sorry” for the impact the Holocaust lesson had on some students.

“Some of you felt unseen. Some of you felt like your own history, your identity, or your community was left out or erased. Some of you left that session feeling less safe, not more,” Cole wrote.

While he acknowledged that hard conversations and topics are part of the school’s framework, he apologized for “missing the mark” with this class.

“Every one of you deserves to walk into this school and feel that who you are matters – Arab students, Jewish students, Lebanese students, Muslim students, Palestinian students.”
