In certain circles, anybody who raises the subject of antisemitism is assumed to be doing Israel’s bidding. Which is why I begin by pointing out that Sir David Bell, the author of a government-commissioned review of antisemitism in England’s schools and colleges, is about as far from a Zionist stooge as it is possible to get. A former chief inspector of schools and permanent secretary at the Department for Education, he is the epitome of the sober, establishment centrist. His report, in other words, is about as kosher as they come. What he found was shameful. Three in five Jewish pupils say they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism at school, and about half of them never reported it. Yet the most revealing part of the story is less what the review uncovered than the reaction to it from the people who are entrusted to run our classrooms... New post. Link in first reply
