We don`t know all the circumstances. I`m reminded of the kid who was shot and killed at the High School I taught at. Usual eulogy -- skipped the details that the little dear was standing out on North Broadway, at 2:00 am, throwing bottles at passing cars.
Note that we`re hearing the story as told by Freidman. Who knows what the kids were up to: presumably, the school feels obliged not to defame them. I don`t think we can really judge -- and it IS a private school. They have the luxury of choosing whom they wish to allow in and whom they don`t. If they were proving intolerably disruptive, the school may have felt it didn`t have much choice. I can see the members of a Jewish school feeling they have a right not to be subjected to Holocaust denial and anti-Israel rhetoric right within the walls of their own classroom. Not that we know that`s what happened, but that`s just the point: we don`t know. |
