As a leader in our school district and our community, I publicly denounce antisemitism, its proponents, and I am disgusted by the recent act of hate through flyers placed on cars in Coronado by a Neo-Nazi hate group.
Today, and every day, I stand against the pernicious and violent attacks against Jews in this country. I am horrified by the vitriolic hate distributed in our community.
An attack on any group based on race, religion, color, sexual orientation, or national origin—including Jewish people—is an assault on the values of diversity, equality and inclusion we strive to achieve.
In the face of these acts in our community, I want each of you to know you are not alone – I stand with you. I call on our community to stand with me and publicly denounce antisemitism, in all of its forms.
If you need support during this difficult time, please, feel free to contact me directly, speak to a counselor, or look through the many resources available for support. Here is a link to a list of organizations devoted to fighting this particular breed of hate: Jewish Community Emergency Response Team (JCERT)
Hate has no place here.
With Love,
