‘Disgusting’: ADL Chief Condemns School’s Deal to Buy Silence on Antisemitism

The parent of a student who faced persistent antisemitism at a Westport, Connecticut school says administrators tried to silence him and his family through the terms of a settlement. Andrew Goldberg, the parent of a middle-school student at Westport Public Schools, said in an opinion piece in Newsweek last week that administrators offered to pay for a year’s worth of tuition at a private school if he and his family would never talk about what led up to the settlement. The school’s attempt to sweep the incidents under the rug received pointed criticism from Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
