New York City Mayor Eric Adams slammed what he called a “vile show of antisemitism” on display at a high school in Queens when a mob of hundreds of students rampaged through the halls in response to a teacher who attended a pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. …

“The vile show of antisemitism at Hillcrest High School was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere else in our city,” Adams said Saturday on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the Post’s story. “We are better than this.”

[Kudos to Adams for speaking out about this. I’m not sure that the NYC public schools are “better than this,” though. Or for that matter, most public schools these days. We already know that Academia isn’t. — Ed]
