The NEA's antisemitic ADL split: Letters
Share this @internewscast.com

The Issue: The National Education Association cuts ties with the Anti-Defamation League.

The National Education Association’s shocking move to sever its relationship with the Anti-Defamation League — the oldest civil rights organization in the country — represents a victory for anti-Jewish prejudice and discrimination (“NEA ax on ADL,” July 9).

Following the most devastating mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust, it is deeply troubling and offensive that the NEA suggests a respected Jewish civil rights organization should not have a role in defining antisemitism simply because it backs Israel’s right to exist.

Stephen Silver

San Francisco, Calif.

The largest teachers union cutting ties with the ADL is the most outrageous action taken by so-called educators.

It is blatant antisemitism, which has no place in our schools.

It is a license to bully, ostracize and harm Jewish students across our country.

If these are the individuals shaping the classrooms for our children, then it’s crucial to reconsider and overhaul the entire educational system in the United States.

Betty Schwartz

Livingston, NJ

The NEA declaring that the ADL is persona non grata in any of its schools shows who controls the public-school systems in this country, and where their priorities are.

US public schools continue to embarrass this country with their Third World-level performance on testing metrics.

At least we can be assured that, through the radical left unions, students will continue to develop into future liberal activists — while simultaneously performing three grades behind where they should be on standardized tests.

Joseph Grassi

NEA delegate Stephen Siegel compares the ADL to the fossil-fuel industry in the following way: “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil-fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”

Maybe he should instead compare the NEA to the fossil-fuel industry, as follows: Allowing the NEA to determine what constitutes education “is like allowing the fossil-fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”

The Issue: Zohran Mamdani checking the “African American” box on his Columbia University application.

Zohran Mamdani’s admission that he falsely identified as African American on his Columbia application isn’t about a complex background — it’s about calculated deception (“Left’s ‘racial identity’ ploy,” July 9).

Mamdani, born to privileged Indian parents in Uganda, claimed an identity that wasn’t his to gain admission advantages meant for descendants of American slavery.

Now this same man campaigns on reparations while Black voters reject him.

This wasn’t confusion — it was fraud.

People see through his performative progressivism.

Todd Pittinsky

Port Jefferson

Mamdani will utter pure lies to get what he wants, be it educational or political goals.

Now he is saying he is for New Yorkers, and that everything under the sun will be free if he is made the next mayor.

His mode of operation has not changed — he is a conniving liar.

Susan Cienfuegos

New Rochelle

Mamdani explains that he checked off “Black or African American” on his Columbia application to indicate that he’d grown up in Africa and was now a naturalized US citizen.

To most people, African American means a black American, usually multigenerational.

By Mamdani’s logic, a white South African who became a naturalized US citizen should check off that box as well.
