Student Celebrates Terror Attack, Antisemitism Surge in NSW Schools

0:00From Sydney, this is your March 11th update. A third-year student at Grandville South Public School in Sydney celebrated the deaths of 15 people killed in Australia's worst terror attack at Bondi earlier this year. This disturbing incident is part of more than 100 reported cases of anti-Semitism in New South Wales schools since the start of 20, 24. The case came up during budget estimates hearings on Wednesday. A source said the single child was sent straight to the principal's office, and the parents were called in right away. The education department's stress that reports of multiple students involved were false. Deputy Premier and Education Minister Prue Carr called the behavior disgusting during the hearing. She and department leaders made it clear they reject all forms of religious discrimination and racism in schools. Officials noted they do not track every student's suspension or expulsion for such issues at the top level. Schools are expected to take appropriate disciplinary action, and discrimination based on race or religion is a serious violation.
