Updated Aug. 22: Natasha Waldorf reports that her first two days of school “went fine” and that the students who harassed her last semester are not in her classes.
On Monday morning Aug. 21, 14-year-old Natasha Waldorf, who is Jewish, will start her sophomore year at Alameda High School.

In her class will be one of two boys who taunted her last semester, sending her text messages that included the word “kike” and other anti-Semitic insults, and the image of product mascot Mr. Clean in a Nazi uniform titled “Mr. Ethnic Cleansing.” In the halls she will pass two other students who taunted her that same week last January, joking about the Holocaust and, when confronted by Natasha, telling her that “Hitler should have finished the job.”

How can [McPhetridge] say he’s protecting a student when the kids who did this don’t have to apologize and are sitting in her class for the rest of the year? It’s egregious.”

The Zionist Organization of America has taken up the case on behalf of Natasha and her family, alerting J. to the ongoing situation this week. The ZOA has been engaged since June in an email exchange with McPhetridge and wi https://www.jweekly.com/2017/08/18/school-year-dawns-no-resolution-alameda-girl-targeted-anti-semitism/ https://www.jweekly.com/2017/08/18/school-year-dawns-no-resolution-alameda-girl-targeted-anti-semitism/
