Jonathan Greenblatt on National Education Association Cutting Ties with ADL: They’re ‘Clearly Overtaken by Activists’

EXCERPT:

GREENBLATT: “The reality is, it's an organization that clearly has been overtaken by activists. You know, these individuals are there to teach our children in the classroom, you know, the basics of reading and writing and arithmetic, not radicalism. But that's exactly what's happened. We've seen an explosion of anti-Semitism in this country, Charlie, right? Anti-Jewish acts of harassment, vandalism and violence have skyrocketed. Last year was the worst year we've ever tracked at ADL. And yet somehow these teachers think the answer is to isolate Jewish students, to intimidate other Jewish educators and to target the oldest organization in the country fighting anti-Semitism. It's bewildering, but it's bigotry. And that's what we need to see here.”
