NYC councilwoman blasts failure of ‘modern progressivism’ after anti-Israel high school riot
link
Chaos broke out at Hillcrest High School in Queens on Monday after 11 a.m. when students planned a protest against a female teacher for attending a pro-Israel rally last month, the New York Post reported. Students reportedly checked out the teacher’s Facebook account and found her profile photo showed her attending the rally while holding a sign reading, "I stand with Israel."
Hundreds of students reportedly ran through the school’s hallways with Palestinian flags and chanted in support of Palestinians, the outlet reported.
Students reportedly even attempted to get into the pro-Israel teacher’s classroom, but were blocked by other faculty members. The NYPD responded to the school, which is located in Queen’s Jamaica neighborhood, at about 11:20 a.m.
"For students in a New York City public school to feel empowered to riot and hunt down a Jewish teacher, something has gone severely wrong, and it's gone wrong for a very long time. And if it's allowed to continue, 'who we are' is going to be a raving mob of children who've been brainwashed into a poisonous hateful political ideology, forever," Paladino said on Twitter earlier Sunday.
"It was terrorism, plain and simple. Terrorism is violence against civilians to achieve a political goal. And that's what we saw in one of our public schools, against a teacher whose only offense was being Jewish and peacefully expressing her support for Israel on her own time," she added.

Just blame everything wrong with American society on progressives.
Do you how dumb that sounds?
I think that the issues that are harmful to society are brought on by all spectrums of people, not just one type. You would be wise to learn this sooner rather than later.

Face it, most of the Palestines in that area hate Americans too, that will never change in any of our lifetimes.
What does our school system need to do to prevent this type of violence doesn't occur again?

Some might deal with this conflict by associating all Palestine as animals and Hamas as lying. A lot of people don't see it this way.
