The United Nations International School, a private school for the children of employees of the global body, canceled an end-of-year school dance after students wrote antisemitic and homophobic messages in each other’s yearbooks. The incident occurred during yearbook distribution to M4 students, the school’s eighth-grade class, last week.
Administrators at the school were alerted by the early afternoon that hate speech, including swastikas and antisemitic and homophobic remarks, had been written in the autograph sections of multiple yearbooks, according to emails sent to parents and staff, which JNS viewed.
The school immediately confiscated as many yearbooks as it could and launched an investigation. Subsequent updates to families stated that more than 30 yearbooks contained hate speech and that nearly 20 students had been identified as potentially involved.
In response, administrators canceled the M4 Social.
“We have made a collective decision to cancel the M4 Social scheduled for tomorrow,” the email to parents stated.
“While we acknowledge that not all students were involved, the gravity of the situation and its widespread impact on our school community make this not the right time for a celebration,” the email stated.
“This decision is not intended as a punishment but rather reflects our profound sadness and disappointment regarding recent events,” a follow-up email stated.

I actually find this hypocrisy a bit amusing.
But a Manhattan private school consultant told The Post the "investigation" is a sham. "The school doesn't care. They don't care because antisemitism is bad ––and that's the problem. They only care because they got caught."Indeed.
Whatever happened to just writing, “Have a kick-ass summer”?
US out of the UN
UN out of the US.
My dad graduated high school in 1954. Long ago, I remember perusing his high school yearbook. At least every other entry contained these exact words: “To a swell guy…”
Kinda sad those days are long gone.
Students have been writing nonsensical (and sometimes offensive) things in each other’s yearbooks since forever.
So now the school is confiscating those yearbooks? Maybe they’ll also slap around the students involved.
It’s been a long time since I was in school. But my policy was don’t ask a crazy kid to sign my yearbook. That policy worked out just fine.
When I was in third grade in 1966 the commonest things on our notebooks were the letters STP and swastikas . Nobody gave a crap. The “homophonic” stuff is the natural result of trying to shove deviance down their throats as normal. Good luck with that.
A UN school full of UN family members kids gee where could they have learned to hate the Jews this is a tough one maybe Shaggy and Scooby can get on the case to solve this caper
8th GRADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pronto.
They were mooselimbs obviously.
Yes, it IS a punishment.
Classless and clueless comments for sure but they have no right to confiscate the yearbooks either.
These are 8th graders. 10 years from now there will be major violence in this nation, fomented by the neo-Bolshevik/Islamofascist far left.
