US school that expelled Jews after antisemitic bullying apologizes in settlement

A prestigious private school in northern Virginia has settled a lawsuit after expelling three Jewish students whose parents reported ongoing antisemitic bullying. The complaint detailed incidents including students taunting a Jewish girl about her identity, derogatory comments about Jews, and a classroom project depicting Adolf Hitler as a 'strong leader.' Despite repeated appeals to the school administration, the family was told to 'toughen up' and then expelled.

As part of the settlement, the school will implement a comprehensive nondiscrimination policy, mandatory antisemitism training, and annual Holocaust education for students and staff. The headmaster will issue a public apology, and the family will receive $100,000 in reimbursement. The case highlights growing concerns about antisemitism in K-12 education across the United States.
