Jewish students and families at Concord-Carlisle High and Middle Schools claim to have experienced antisemitic bullying, verbal abuse, and threats as outlined in a recent legal complaint. The complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights and supported by civil rights organizations. Allegations include students making Nazi salutes and forming teams named 'Team Auschwitz' and 'Team Hamas' during sports events. The Anti-Defamation League expressed that the antisemitic environment has developed over time and persisted without proper intervention from school officials, who have denied these claims.
At the Concord-Carlisle High and Middle Schools, Jewish students have faced a pattern of antisemitic bullying, including Nazi salutes and threats, according to a legal complaint.
Civil rights groups allege that Concord-Carlisle Regional School District officials ignored antisemitic abuse and enabled backlash against a Jewish student who spoke out.
The official complaint details incidents such as the formation of teams called 'Team Auschwitz' and 'Team Hamas' during athletic games, and the use of anti-Jewish slurs.
ADL New England Regional Director Samantha Joseph highlighted that the antisemitic climate at the school was allowed to take root and persist over time.
