Jewish News Podcast: On the frontline in the classroom
Guests include PaJes director Rabbi David Meyer, LJS education chief Debi Penhey, Sharon Booth of Solutions not Sides and the CST’s Jonny Newton
As Jewish teachers reveal they have become fanatical targets of abuse in the classroom over events in the Middle East, we ask: how should schools respond? We hear testimony from one teacher whose experience at the hands of pupils led to her resignation. PaJes director Rabbi David Meyer, LJS education chief Debi Penhey, Sharon Booth of Solutions not Sides and the CST’s Jonny Newton also discuss how the conflict in the Middle East spilled over into UK schools like never before.
