"People are just clueless about this," she said. "The kids in my classes are so young. So do I let them go on not knowing about this, or do I teach them the history of hate so they can understand it? If they don't understand the background, the fear is that it could happen again."

Could it be that the evidence the kids are presented is less than compelling. One has to reach back into the Middle Ages to show that a Passion play resultd in anti-Jewish actions. As for the role of the Jews historicallly, I am surprised that people have not pointed out that Paul was similiarly attacked by the Jewish leadership and was saved only because he was a Roman citizen. The Book of Acts devotes several chapters to this.
