Bedford Mass. Elementary School Kids Playing ‘Jail The Jews’

The Bedford Massachusetts school district is trying to address an alarming rise in anti-Semitic incidents in recent months. The incidents include a game called “Jail the Jews” which has become popular at two elementary schools, the appearance of swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti painted on a high school and elementary school, and disturbing statements by some children.

According to the Boston Globe, the superintendent of the district, Jon Sill, has announced a community forum for Thursday evening at a local middle school’s auditorium intended to address the anti-Semitic trends.

In addition to the game played by students at one of the elementary schools, a child told her parents that a classmate told her they were going to destroy her country because she is Jewish, Sills said. In another instance, a Jewish child was told by a peer that she could not have a cracker because Jews didn’t believe in Jesus Christ.

Also recently, students discussing the difference between Christmas and Hanukkah made a comment that Jews were responsible for killing Jesus, Sills said.

On Nov. 8, a swastika was etched on a playground slide at the Lane School with graffiti that said, “Jews Kill Them All,’’ Jones said. Two weeks later, swastikas were found in a boys bathroom at Bedford High School, he said.
