Boston – Town Rallies Against Anti-Semitism At Bedford High School
Boston, MA – More than 300 Religious leaders, town and state officials, and residents gathered in Bedford Thursday to denounce recent acts of anti-Semitism in the schools and pledge their support to help make Bedford a safe and welcoming community for all cultures and races, The Boston Globe reports.
Over the last few weeks, incidents have taken place in both elementary and high schools alike in the area, including a game called “Jail the Jews,” as well as instances where anti-Semitic graffiti was spray-painted onto school walls. The graffiti includes swastikas and other such anti-Semitic materials, according to the Globe.
In other incidents, a child told her parents that a classmate said they were going to destroy her country because she is Jewish, and a Jewish child was told by a peer that she could not have a cracker because Jews didn’t believe in Jesus. Also, while discussing Christmas and Hanukkah, students said that Jews were responsible for killing Jesus.

Some things never go out of vogue, including mocking anti-Semitism in this country and others.
