A North Carolina high school teacher’s lesson on slavery likened slavery in America to the Holocaust and stated that Americans acknowledge the horror of the Holocaust but are reluctant to “take responsibility for the degradations of enslaved people that took place on American soil.” When a Jewish parent objected, acknowledging that the Holocaust and slavery were both atrocities but saying to make them synonymous was inaccurate, another teacher wrote, “You give Jewish people a bad name,” then reportedly privately messaged the Jewish parent, “F*** off.”
The initial incident that provoked Brooke Weiss, the parent of an 11th-grade student in an Ardrey Kell High School English class, was initiated by the teacher, who asked her students what a fictional character had learned after reading that “the Germans had been trying to do only in a few years what the Americans had worked at for nearly two hundred,” as The Washington Free Beacon reported.
