The chaos erupted, according to the New York Post, when students discovered that a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally, leading to a violent outburst where hundreds of students rampaged through the school's hallways.
In response, Paladino posted on X, "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."
Paladino's recommendations included the immediate suspension of all faculty at Hillcrest High School, pending a thorough investigation, and the firing of any faculty found to have contributed to the riot. She also called for the suspension of every student involved, with expulsion and criminal prosecution for the organizers. Additionally, she suggested an audit of the Department of Education's personnel and curriculum to root out biases and ideologies that she believes are negatively impacting the education system.
