Accusations of antisemitism has led to a lawsuit against a local school district. The suit, filed on behalf of several Jewish students in Redwood City and San Mateo, says the Sequoia Unified High School District failed to protect them from “a hostile environment” on campus.
Sam Kasle said his daughter, a student at Woodside High School, was harassed for being Jewish.
“My daughter came home from a world history class over a couple of times crying and crying,” said Kasle. “The environment I grew up in is much more antisemitic than when I grew up in the 80s. That’s not the path that America should be on.”
Kasle said he filed complaints about with school staff and administrators. But, nothing was ever done.
His attorneys have now filed a lawsuit against Sequoia Union High School District.
