Brooklyn High School Hangs Large Palestinian Flag in Hallway, Offending Jewish Teachers and Students
“clearly a political statement, and you’re making Jewish stakeholders really uncomfortable”
Someone should hang a Trump MAGA flag next to it just to see what happens. Get ready for this to be the norm if Mamdani wins the mayoral race.
The New York Post reports:
Palestinian flag brazenly hangs in NYC school hallway despite complaints from Jewish teachers
Jewish teachers are outraged over a full-sized Palestinian flag that’s been hanging in the hallway of a Brooklyn high school for months — as their complaints to education bosses fall on deaf ears.
The banner has been prominently displayed at Leaders High School in Gravesend, which shares space in the Lafayette Educational Complex, since at least April, said Moshe Spern, president of the 250-member United Jewish Teachers group.
It’s unclear who hung the flag — or why.
Spern believes the flag violates city regulations prohibiting political activities on Department of Education property. He emailed Principal Thomas Mullen on Tuesday, noting that “members of the Lafayette school community” have complained about the flag since the end of last academic year.
“I told [the people complaining] at the time maybe it was associated with a Heritage month and to give the benefit of the doubt,” Spern wrote in the email, which he shared with The Post.
“At this point, the fact that it still remains hanging seems more like a political statement.
“Jewish staff, parents and students are very concerned that this is still hanging,” he added. “My hope is that this flag is taken down, and neutrality in the conflict in the Middle East is the message at Leaders High School.”
He got no response, and fired off another message to Mullen on Friday, demanding the flag’s removal.
The flag is “clearly a political statement, and you’re making Jewish stakeholders really uncomfortable,” he wrote.

Come on, Harry Potter, say the magic words:
“We fear for our safety!”
That spell makes NY have to do whatever you want.
Hang a MAGA flag andor an Israeli flag next to it. If that’s removed for cause then remove the Hamas flag and burn it. Double standards are beyond unacceptable when one side is genocidal.
Never mind the games. Just burn it.
Of course. And put up cameras all over to monitor what happens to each.
Then get some popcorn.
You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Just wait until MadMommy becomes Mayor. Which he will!
