Don't Close Your Eyes. When you Open Them Anti-Semitism Will Still Be There...

Anti-Semitism Is Alive and Well. And We’re Just Sitting Here Watching, like a movie in a movie theater....

Just to let you know, I’m taking a few days off and will be publishing a couple of “Best of’s.” I’ll be back on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone!

Call me crazy, but when a private school starts hanging Palestinian flags while their students sketch Hitler as their role model, maybe it’s time to stop pretending we’ve evolved past 1939.

This disgusting little saga out of Northern Virginia reads like a bad satire. Except it’s real. And it’s happening right under our smug American noses.

Let’s break it down. Because you can’t make this crap up.

Three Jewish kids.
Bullied relentlessly. Mocked for their heritage.
Told their dead uncle deserved it.
Watched classmates salute Hitler as a “strong leader.”

And what does Kenneth Nysmith, the Head of School, do?
Raises a Palestinian flag.
Cancels the Holocaust speaker.
Suggests an 11-year-old girl should “toughen up.”

But wait - there’s more.

Instead of protecting these children from hate, the school decides the real problem is the victims. So they kick all three of them out. Effective immediately. No warning. No decency. Just a cold email and a promise to mail a refund check like this was a returned pair of pants.

Tell me again how this isn’t anti-Semitism.
Tell me again how this is “progressive.”
Tell me again how we’re so enlightened over here in the land of the free.

You know what this is?
Cowardice.
Bigotry wearing a cardigan and calling itself education.
The same tired hatred that never really left, it just learned to rebrand.

This isn’t about Gaza. Or Israel. Or whichever cause du jour the privileged suburban set likes to virtue-signal about. This is about children. Children who got tossed out because their existence made other people uncomfortable.

And you know what? That’s exactly how these things start.
First, you dehumanize.
Then you isolate.
Then you punish anyone who dares to speak up.

The Nysmith School ought to be ashamed. And frankly, every parent who still sends their kid there ought to ask themselves why they’d trust these spineless frauds to teach morality to a goldfish, let alone an actual human child.

If you think I’m being too harsh, ask yourself this:
What if it was your kid?
What if your daughter was told her uncle deserved to die?
What if your son was forced to sit under a flag waved in his face as a taunt while teachers looked the other way?

I’m tired of the polite hand-wringing. The press releases. The bland corporate statements about “complex current events.”

This is simple.

It’s called anti-Semitism.
And it’s alive and well in America.
Pretending otherwise is just more of the same leg-peeing nonsense that got us here in the first place.

You want to stand for something?
Call it what it is. Demand accountability.
And stop letting these institutions hide behind diversity slogans while they persecute Jewish kids for breathing.

Because history has shown us, over and over, that silence is complicity. No action equals inaction and destruction. And I, for one, won’t be complicit.

What will you do?
