New York City Mayor Eric Adams said city officials are investigating a "vile show of antisemitism" in which students at a high school in Queens reportedly rioted after learning a teacher attended a pro-Israel rally.
The incident shut down Hillcrest High School in Jamaica Hills, Queens, for two hours on Monday and forced the teacher to hide inside a locked office while the students rampaged down the halls, the New York Post first reported.
"The vile show of antisemitism at Hillcrest High School was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere else in our city," Adams wrote on X.
"We are better than this," the mayor added.
Students had planned a protest after seeing a Facebook photo of the teacher holding a sign that read, "I stand with Israel," the report said. In the students’ group chat, they spoke about "starting a riot," one student told the outlet.
Shortly after 11 a.m. Monday, hundreds of teens stormed the hallways, where they chanted, waved Palestinian flags and screamed that the teacher "needs to go," according to the report. Parts of the incident were captured on video and posted to TikTok.
The teacher, whose name was not publicly released, has worked in the city’s school system for 23 years and has taught at Hillcrest for the past seven years. She told the Post that she "was shaken to my core" by the calls of violence against her both online and in the hallways outside her classroom.
"No one should ever feel unsafe at school -- students and teachers alike," the teacher said.

“We are better than this,” the mayor added.”
Apparently not.
L
Presumably, she hid in her office because her name is printed on the door, and she knows they can’t read.
I certainly hope and pray Mayor Adams did not say “cease fire.”
Today that is considered virulent anti-Semitism.....understood to mean hatred of Jews.
Poll of U.S. college students finds most blame Hamas for ...
NBC News

Oct 17, 2023 — And by race, 58% of white college students, 47% of Latinos and 36% of Black college students believe Hamas deserves blame for the attack.
Nope...
You are EXACTLY correct.
During the Democrat primaries in Florida the Dem candidate for gov. Andrew Gillum flooded black neighborhoods with flyers pointing out his opponents were Jewish.
This was pointed out after he won...and still Florida Jews campaigned and contributed to the POS.
Oh poooooor Adams and Hochul.
Supported the invasion of third world illegal aliens. Supported the radical islamic muslim invasion.
Supported the racial poverty pimp industry.
Now all three are at each others’ throats and all the groups are die hard democrat party supporters.
Teacher should have been armed and come out blasting.
Indeed
“NYC Mayor Eric Adams blasts students’ ‘vile show of antisemitism’ that forced teacher to hide in office”
I’m no fan of Adams, but GOOD FOR HIM - he at least got this one right.
and do NOTHING about it... camera’s all down at the time,right?
It happened on Monday. It took a few days for him to put his index finger up and test the wind direction. Does he say, “This is vile and will not be tolerated!”, or does he say, “It’s time we finally got these vile Jews out of our school system and eventually, out of our society!”?
