#hope she eventually learns what antisemitism is and accepts that she perpetuates it

[earthytzipi]

every once in a while I get violently reminded of my old co-worker (I left this job) who, amongst many other horrible things, told me that the Passover story isn't appropriate for children. and that because it's so violent and awful, it must be a really somber holiday for us. and when I looked at her and told her: "i mean, it's complicated and many Jewish people aren't thrilled about the plagues, but it's actually a very important and celebratory holiday for us regardless," she looked at me like I had grown a third head and then told me she didn't want it in the classroom

and before you ask, yes, she *was* going to do Easter and Christmas and considered them secular and uncomplicated. and would have done Hanukkah and Rosh Hashanah without asking a Jewish person to be there.
