TOP NYC PRIVATE SCHOOL DEVOLVES INTO ‘HOTBED OF JEW-HATE’ AS PARENTS DETAIL
TEACHER FLIPPING OFF RABBIS, GROUP TRYING TO ‘CANCEL’ HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR

By Deirdre Bardolf and Matthew Sedacca

Published June 2, 2024, 6:07 a.m. ET

One of the top private schools in the country has “devolved” into a “hotbed of
Jew-hate,” parents charge.

A Jewish student who graduated from the Ethical Fieldston School in the Bronx
was tormented by classmates calling him an “ethnic cleaner” and a “colonizer”
and even witnessed a teacher give rabbis the middle finger at an assembly,
according to his mom.

“Fieldston is a hotbed of Jew-hate and these terror-supporting students are the
epitome of the ‘trigger warning’ generation,” Dr. Logan Levkoff said in an
Instagram post.

Levkoff’s Tuesday post came in response to a student letter that defended a
classmate accused of vandalizing the school with anti-Israel graffiti and bashed
Jewish parents. It claimed the parents were “intimidating” them and
“suppressing” ideas not in line with “Zionist ideology.”

The students were replying to Jewish parents and alums who demanded in their own
letter that the $63,000-a-year school protect their kids in light of antisemitic
incidents following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

“The Fieldston school’s terror-supporting students have responded to the Jewish
community’s letter with a five-page missive,” Levkoff, a relationship expert and
self-proclaimed “sex-talking Jewish hockey mom,” shared with her 15,000
followers. “So now it’s my turn.”

“They’ve been terrorizing Jewish students for years, forcing them into silence
for fear that if they speak up, they’ll be called racist,” Levkoff wrote.

“Enough is enough,” she added. “Some of us have played the ‘Good Jew’ for too
long.”

In their letter, the students also claimed that a “vulnerable 16-year-old girl
of color” was being “scapegoated” over the “Free Palestine” graffiti on teh
school building.

“This student has been and continues to be blamed and villainized for an act of
protest that she was not made aware would break any rules,” they wrote.

Some parents blamed the culture at Fieldston on DEI initiatives like “affinity
groups” that divide rather than unite. instragram @loganlevkoff

“Students could not possibly have known what phrases and symbols are viewed as
causing harm and why,” the Ivy League hopefuls also declared.

The link to the letter since been taken down.

One Fieldston insider doubted the kids wrote the letter themselves and suspected
radical teachers or parents helped.

“There are no kids there smart enough to write that … it has all the jargon,”
they said.

The controversy is the latest in a string of racial and religious incidents
there in the past decade.

One former Fieldston parent blamed the recent battles on a “complete failure on
the part of the school to teach a fair and balanced curriculum.” The school has
“made the ties that bound the community together untenable,” she added.

The insider pointed to the school’s DEI programs like so-called “affinity
groups,” which divide kids by race and identity. The initiatives are headed by a
five-person Department of Belonging and Social Impact team.

“They don’t bring people together, they tear them apart,” the source said,
adding that it is a small group “rabble rousing” and espousing anti-Israel and
antisemitic sentiments.

“Fieldston was founded by a Jew and was supposed to be this safe haven for the
Jewish community,” one private school parent lamented. “For it to devolve into
what it has is totally antithetical to what the school is supposed to
represent.”

“People who go there pay massive tuition because they believe that Fieldston is
what it set out to be, and they’re having this rude awakening,” she added.

Fieldston did not respond to an inquiry.
