Pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic students continue terror: Yale student stabbed in eye, Columbia Jewish students told to go home for safety

Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli protesters are out of control at so-called “elite” universities across the country. Described as “horrific” scenes of anti-Semitism, Jewish students were told to go home and learn remotely at Columbia University, while a female Jewish student was stabbed in the eye at Yale.

Yale victim, Sophomore Sahar Tartak, told the Jerusalem Post that while covering the demonstration for the Yale Free Press, several individuals pushed and blocked the movements of her and a colleague before the alleged assault took place.

Tartak, who was dressed in Hasidic attire, said that she reported the battery to campus police, but she was unaware if they took any action apart from calling an ambulance for her. The police reportedly refused her requests to disband the gathering.

At Columbia over the weekend, Pro-Palestinian protesters were advocating for Hamas terrorism against Israel, yelling “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” as well as other pro-violence slogans.

“We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!,” protesters shouted Saturday night, according to footage posted by Israel War Room.

“Hamas, we love you! We support your rockets, too!” and “Red, black, green, and white, we support Hamas’ fight!” were also chanted.

“It is right to rebel, Al-Qassam, give them hell!,” they said.

The Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard urged over 290+ Jewish students Sunday morning to go home until the campus unrest settles down, according to a What’sApp message obtained by CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

National Review reports that New York City police arrested 108 anti-Israel activists on Thursday after the university’s president asked law enforcement to step in and break up the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.” Dozens of protester tents occupied campus for over 24 hours, which the university deemed a safety concern and a violation of university policies.

NY Elementary School Found Teaching ‘Gender Identity’ Course to Kindergartners

An elementary school in the suburbs of New York City has been teaching a “gender curriculum” to kindergarten children in an effort to promote “inclusion” in the school. Hillside Elementary School, part of the Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free District, uses photos of children to introduce “different identities.”

The New York Post reports that the course includes showing kindergarten students photos of other children which are used to “introduce vocabulary to describe characters of different identities,” including teaching them about the terms “cisgender, transgender, and non-binary,” according to a message to parents regarding the curriculum.

“Our gender curriculum focuses on Hillside’s core value of respect and aims to center discussions on gender identity. The students will learn and discuss that there is a lot you can’t tell about a person by simply looking at them,” the kindergarten level course description reads.

“The students will look at pictures of children and talk about what they notice and what they think they know about the children just from the pictures. Using their observations, we will then take the opportunity to introduce vocabulary to describe characters of different identities,” the school writes.

The “identity” being taught to children includes discussing “gender and the pronouns that you use,” and that “as we learn and grow, the words we use to describe our gender identity can grow too,” as described by the school.

Fox News Digital reached out to the school about the curriculum, to which the Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free District communications team said that the lessons have been in place for several years and are rooted in “Hillside’s core values of respect and fostering dignity for all students.”

“One 30-minute gender lesson is taught in each class one time per year. The classes are led by a certified educator, following a specific set of lessons designed to help students value the full diversity of their classmates,” Superintendent William S. McKersie said in a message to faculty and parents.

“The lessons have been created in alignment with the NYS Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework,” he wrote. The school noted that the lessons do not address sex education or sexuality. The school district said that while they usually have the courses posted publicly online, the gender lesson description has been taken off the website since going viral.
