From East Brunswick, New Jersey comes a bizarre yearbook controversy. Jewish students were removed from the East Brunswick High School yearbook.

The entire Jewish Student Union was removed from the book – their names and photo erased.
Instead, the Jewish teenagers were replaced with a photo of Muslim students.
The school district said the incident was a result of gross lack of oversight and they have launched an independent investigation.
“I’m confident the independent counsel investigation will reveal the truth,” Superintendent Victor Valeski said. “They’ve been given complete authority to investigate whatever they need to investigate.”
In a statement, East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen called it a “blatant Anti-Semitic act” and said the probe should consider whether it was a hate crime worthy of prosecution. “Hate has no place in East Brunswick and Anti-Semitism will not be tolerated,” he said.
The president of the Jewish Student Union says she felt shocked and hurt and said it was as if their identity as Jewish students had been symbolically erased.
Meanwhile, the town’s Muslim community says they are the true victims because they are bearing the brunt of the blame.
The superintendent apologized previously for “the hurt, pain and anguish this event has caused our Jewish students” and offered a separate apology to Muslim students.
For what it’s worth – there are far too many incidents involving lack of oversight at schools across the nation. These days Jews and Christians are in the crosshairs.
