A New Jersey school district is looking for answers after a photo with Muslim students replaced a Jewish group in a yearbook

An investigation is underway after seniors at East Brunswick High School in New Jersey received yearbooks this week with a Jewish Student Union photo replaced by a photo of Muslim students, the superintendent said.

“We were made aware that in yearbooks, distributed only to Seniors, the Jewish Student Union is accompanied by a photograph that is not associated with them in any way,” East Brunswick Public Schools Superintendent Victor Valeski posted on Facebook Wednesday. “Additionally, names of members of the Jewish Student Union were not published.”

The school board has retained private legal counsel to investigate after the superintendent’s own probe into the yearbook incident, Valeski told CNN on Friday.

“I did an initial internal investigation,” Valeski wrote in an email to CNN. “I found, at a minimum, gross (negligence) in the proof review procedure before going to print.”

It’s not clear who might have removed the photo and names of the Jewish Student Union members and replaced them with a photo showing members of the school’s Muslim Student Association.

East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen called the incident a “blatant Anti-Semitic act.”

“The action resulted in a picture of Muslim students replacing the original photograph of the Jewish students,” the mayor posted on Facebook.

He called on school officials to answer a litany of questions, including how the incident happened, who was responsible and how perpetrators would be held accountable.

On Thursday night, the school board announced an independent group will investigate.

The private counsel started working on the case Friday, and it’s unclear when findings will be completed.

The superintendent apologized on behalf of the East Brunswick Board of Education “for the hurt, pain and anguish this event has caused our Jewish students, their families and the impact this continues to have on the entire EB community.”

Look to the yearbook advisor. Isn’t there always a teacher in charge of the final decisions as to yearbook contents and layout? There you will probably find the teacher who orchestrated the swap.

The school district is ‘looking for answers’.

Hey - I thought they knew ALL the answers; they are ‘educators’.

These people need to be deported and their flags shoved where the sun don’t shine.

Islamic centers are popping up like mushrooms all over New Jersey and where it was once rare to see an overt Muslim person, it is now fairly common. Not sure where these folks came from but within a relatively short period of time, they are now here in significant numbers.

Simple. Pull any and all monetary or otherwise support to Muslim groups until the culprit(s) are identified. And then take whatever that money is and republish the correct yearbooks.

Look to the yearbook advisor.


Yearbooks are all done on computers now. Should be easy enough to see what was actually sent in to the printers. It’s possible that the switch was made at the printing facility as well.

Thing is, the faculty advisor would have to know that such a switch would be easily found out.

Not sure where these folks came from

At least 8 million arrivals under Biden's "watch," and you're not sure where they came from?

The muzzies infiltrate not to adapt to our culture but to force theirs on us.
