(JTA) – The principal of a suburban Boston middle school apologized to parents for failing to notify them about two antisemitic incidents at the school, days after he notified them about a third incident. The words “Burn the Jews” was written on the wall of a boys’ bathroom at the F.A. Day Middle School in Newton, Mass., Brian Turner said in a letter sent home to parents over two weeks ago, the Boston Globe reported. At a meeting Wednesday, March 9, Turner apologized, saying, “In responding to the first two incidents, my big mistake was not promptly and publicly communicating about these incidents with the police, the superintendent, teachers, students, and parents.” Police were forwarded an anonymous letter on Feb. 22 informing them of the incidents. In the October incident, what is described as “hateful graffiti” was discovered on a bathroom wall. In January, a swastika was imprinted in the snow. The school system is working with the Anti-Defamation League to educate faculty and students about anti-Semitism and hate rhetoric.
