Posh New York private school that charges $65,000 a year is slammed as 'hot bed of Jewish hate' - with one teacher accused of giving rabbis the middle finger at an assembly
- Parents have accused Ethical Culture Fieldston School of being anti-Semitic
- Teachers allegedly gave rabbis the middle finger during a school assembly
- One Mom said her son was called an 'ethnic cleanser' and 'colonizer'
An elite New York City private school has been accused of being a 'hotbed of Jew-hate' by furious parents.
Dr. Logan Levkoff said her son experienced anti-Semitism while attending Ethical Culture Fieldston School.
The sex and relationship expert claimed her son was called an 'ethnic cleanser' and 'colonizer' during his time as a student.
In one instance, two teachers allegedly gave the middle finger to two rabbis at an assembly.
'Fieldston is a hotbed of Jew-hate and these terror-supporting students are the epitome of the "trigger warning" generation,' Levkoff wrote in an Instagram post.

The New York City private school cost $65,540 for the 2024-2025 school year
She said her son's Nazi Germany and the Holocaust teacher tried to pass off Soviet Antizionism as a legitimate political movement and claimed one guest speaker compared Jews to Nazis.
When her son organized a Holocaust survivor to come speak, Levkoff claimed a group of students tried to 'cancel' the event.
According to the school's website, the tuition for all grades for the 2024-25 school year is $65,540.
Jewish parents and alumni had sent a like to the school demanding they do more protect students after 'Free Palestine' was spray painted on campus, reported The New York Post.
In response, a student letter accused the parents of 'intimidating' them and 'suppressing' ideas not in line with 'Zionist ideology.'
'The Fieldston school's terror-supporting students have responded to the Jewish community's letter with a five-page missive,' Levkoff wrote.
'They've been terrorizing Jewish students for years, forcing them into silence for fear that if they speak up, they'll be called racist.'
'Enough is enough. Some of us have played the 'Good Jew' for too long,' she said.
Other school community members commented on Levkoff's post and shared their similar experiences.
'My kids went there. Even then there were swastikas being drawn around the school by "mystery people" and they refused to have Jewish affinity groups but had many other affinity groups. Jewish kids were thrown in the “white” affinity group,' said one parent.
The New York Times reported in 2020 Jewish parents had accused the school of not acting aggressively enough to address anti-Semitic comments from a teacher and guest speaker.

In January 2020, teacher J.B. Brager was fired for criticizing Israel in class and on their personal X, formerly Twitter, account.
During an assembly in November 2019, guest speaker Kayum Ahmed, a director at the Open Society Foundations philanthropic organization, compared what Jews endured during the Holocaust to violence against Palestinians in Israel.
'I use the same example in talking about the Holocaust. That Jews who suffered in the Holocaust and established the State of Israel today perpetuate violence against Palestinians,' Ahmed said.
A spokesperson for Ethical Culture Fieldston School told DailyMail.com: 'We do not tolerate antisemitism and stand against all forms of hate.'
'We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring all members of our community experience dignity and belonging at our school.'
