Raja Razek, Mounira Elsamra and Rebekah Riess, CNNToni Yates has the story in New Jersey on the high school yearbook pictures.An investigation is underway after seniors at East Brunswick High School in New Jersey received yearbooks this week with a Jewish Student Union photo replaced by a photo of Muslim students, the superintendent said.
"I did an initial internal investigation," Valeski wrote in an email to CNN. "I found, at a minimum, gross in the proof review procedure before going to print." Charlotte Friedman, president of the school's Jewish Club, said "it feels as if our identity as Jewish students has been symbolically erased."
Zain expressed sympathy for the Jewish community and described the Islamophobia he's endured since seeing his face in the misplaced photo. Another student at the meeting said MSA members "have been unjustly blamed" and subjected to online abuse. The high school junior questioned the differing responses to the Jewish community and the Muslim community.
