The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is criticizing an Alabama school system's response to complaints from a Jewish student that a teacher had classmates perform a Nazi salute last month.
The student, Ephraim Tytell, said school officials reprimanded him and told him to apologize to the teacher after he shared a video and photos of the incident on social media. The student said he refused.
On Tuesday, the school system issued a statement saying the video and photos shared online “are not representative of the lesson” and no one tried to teach students how to do a Nazi salute. “To improve our instructional strategies, we will continue to work with the Alabama Holocaust Education Center to advance training for our teachers surrounding Antisemitism, the Holocaust, and its symbols,” said the statement. The system said it stands “absolutely and unequivocally” against antisemitism.The Birmingham Jewish Federation said the system’s follow-up statement was a “direct result” of conversations it had with leaders of the school system.
