Antisemitism Masquerading as Woke Enlightenment

Chicago Contrarian brings us a sad story. The Latin School of Chicago: Bullying of a Jewish Student Leads to Suicide, $100M Lawsuit.

Nate Bronstein, a 15-year-old student at the Latin School of Chicago, committed suicide earlier this year after consistent bullying by other students and the failure of the school to report to his parents his complaints, including direct communications between Mr. Bronstein and the school’s senior administration, according to a recent lawsuit filed by the family.

Another parent familiar with Latin’s equity and diversity programs states: “Latin takes any words against protected classes of students so seriously. Even admitting to ‘not being attracted’ to someone with darker skin is grounds for discipline or dismissal. But there is a double standard in that it is perfectly acceptable for protected groups of students as well as teachers and administrators to shame, humiliate, punish and intellectually bully those who do not accept prevailing woke educational philosophies which argue reverse racism and anti-Semitism does not exist, unless it comes from white supremacy.”‍

Bronstein, being Jewish, could not - in the eyes for the administration of the Latin School - ever be a victim. The rise in Antisemitism and related hate crimes are not to be discussed at the Latin School. Don't clutter the issue with FACTS! This is the 21st century! We only deal with woke feelings.

The reason Latin could never acknowledge Mr. Bronstein’s bullying is because he was not a victim, as the complaint notes. He was a Jew, a member of a group that “Latin’s DEI leadership,” in the words of one parent, considers part of the community that “must be retrained and fall in line.” ‍The overwhelming tragedy of the situation, of course, is that bullying and victimization is never acceptable, by anyone, to anyone, in a K-12 educational environment. Nor is it legal, according to the court filing.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) wasn't designed cover EVERYONE at The Latin School. Only the Woke-approved victim-classes, which definitely does not include Jews. Not even when you consider the number of antisemitic hate crimes that have been committed. (This is another one.)
