Juniper Russo posted to Facebook that she withdrew her eighth-grader from the class after the teacher wrote an English translation of the Hebrew name for God on the whiteboard and told students, “If you want to know how to torture a Jew, make them say this out loud,” according to the post.

“This name is traditionally not spoken out loud, and is traditionally only written in the Torah,” Russo wrote. "My daughter felt extremely uncomfortable hearing a teacher instruct her peers on ‘how to torture a Jew’ and told me when she came home from school that she didn’t feel safe in the class.”

Russo said she has also reported the incident to the Anti-Defamation League.

Russo wrote on Facebook that her daughter enrolled in the Bible class because other electives were not accessible to her because of a disability. Her daughter was uncomfortable answering questions on assignments such as, “Do you read the Bible at home?” because she did not want to be singled out as Jewish, Russo wrote.

Russo said that in addition to the antisemitic comments, the teacher taught the Genesis creation story as a factual story of how the universe was formed.

that whole Genesis story thing isn't so unusual around these parts... H's own grandbabies were exposed to that shit, too. I'm happy to report they've since learned better.
 
"Jehovah" is of course a mistranslation. Nobody even knows how "YVHV" was pronounced, since Hebrew writing did not include vowels, and nobody was allowed to pronounce the Name but the High Priest in the Holy of Holies during Yom Kippur, and that practice ended with the destruction of the Temple.
 
Almost definitely a conservative. There is zero reason to suspect a Democrat.
 
You'd think the punchline of any "how to torture a Jew" joke would be something involving money.

Could be related to any of the dozens of anti-Semitic (anti-Israel) people in the Democrat party and in the Whitehouse NSC.
 
The source is MSN. Microsoft. One of the heavy hitters of corporate greed and destruction of the nation. Tennessee probably has bible courses, but I'll wait for a more credible source for other details.

Israel are not the good guys in their current conflict and our blind loyalty to them causes a lot us plenty of problems. Not being a fan of Israel has absolutely fuck all to do with how you feel about Jews. They are not the same thing.

Jewish Americans have some interesting voting records. Seriously they NEVER vote Republican. You think its because they are more interested self preservation HERE than they are about a foreign nation? Because nobody is going to argue that Democrats are equally or more supportive of Israel than conservatives. Turns out not believing Helm's Deep is under siege gives you perspective.

You should learn how the interwebz work. It's pretty amazing.

Back to my point, he's likely a democrat.
 
another school, another example of disturbing class activities: teacher has all the class perform a 'nazi-salute' while 'teaching' about how symbols have changed over time. Kid finds it wrong, records and shares it, school insist he apologize to teacher. He refused.

since when has explaining the nazi salute taken a whole classroom of kids needing to stand and perform it? never.

While Mountain Brooks Schools issued a statement saying it was “deeply apologetic for the pain" caused by a lesson that “lacked sensitivity,” the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute questioned actions by the system, which previously ditched a diversity program produced by an organization that combats antisemitism.

“It is in this light that we find a more recent incident involving the Nazi salute displayed by students in a Mountain Brook classroom particularly disconcerting, as it shows a conspicuous lack of preparation on the part of administrators to discuss, teach and lead in this area,” the city-owned educational institute said in a statement.

same school had issues before:
Last year, Mountain Brook’s school system responded to community complaints about a diversity program produced by the Anti-Defamation League by dropping the lessons. Schools had begun using the material after antisemitic events, including a video of a student with a swastika drawn on his body

Opponents claimed the lessons focused too much on race and gender and criticized the ADL as being too political.
