A New Jersey school district has hired an outside law firm to investigate how and why a Jewish student group was erased from the high school yearbook, with the members’ names omitted from the page and their photo replaced with a picture of a group of Muslim students.
“I'm confident the independent counsel investigation will reveal the truth,” Superintendent Victor Valeski said. “They've been given complete authority to investigate whatever they need to investigate.”for “the hurt, pain and anguish this event has caused our Jewish students” and offered a separate apology to Muslim students.a “blatant Anti-Semitic act” and said the probe should consider whether it was a hate crime worthy of prosecution.
Valeski said a new photo of the Jewish Student Union was taken this week and will be included, along with the members' names, in corrected versions of the yearbook that will be distributed next week.
