Harassed, isolated and abandoned: Jewish teachers 'scared for life' at Ontario school board

[CdnFox]

Teachers say the Israel-Hamas war has amplified antisemitism at Peel District School Board — and the union and some principals are a big part of the problem

That same day, on a WhatsApp chat for teachers and assistants at a Peel school in Brampton, an educator wrote: “I feel bad, but then I don’t feel bad because they killed so much Palestinians now it’s their turn.”

Eight teachers – five Jewish, three non-Jewish – told the National Post that working at the Peel board was distressing even before the terror attacks on Israel. But where the Jewish teachers say they once feared for their livelihood, they say they now fear for their lives. Four out of five of them said they want to transfer out of the Peel board. One Jewish teacher retracted her interview for this story believing it was too dangerous for her to be exposed in any way.

Furthermore, the teachers say their union is no help, with officials themselves publicly expressing anti-Israel views.

 

 

 

This is just wrong. If any of those people had spoken against gays or trans they'd be GONE.  But stoking hatred for jews is ok?
