A New Jersey school district issued an apology after a letter on Ramadan with anti-Israel content had been sent by an assistant principal, NBC New York reported earlier this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

According to the report, the assistant principal of Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey shared a widely circulated note, which offered seemingly innocent information regarding the month of Ramadan<\/a>, but also included some anti-Israel comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war<\/a>, the letter stated the US is \u201cco-conspiring\u201d with the Jewish State to bar \u201cMuslim Palestinians from partaking in Ramadan.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The letter further noted that “the Israeli Zionist occupation enacts a genocide<\/a> against\u201d Palestinians.<\/span><\/p>\n

The note incurred severe criticism and parents’ complaints. <\/span><\/p>\n

New Jersey school responds to Ramadan letter incident <\/strong><\/h4>\n

“The document was not reviewed or approved by any district office or personnel,\u201d  school Superintendent Dr. Kevin Gilbert said later in response. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cWhile the intention of sharing the document was to provide a resource, serious content was overlooked,” he added. <\/span><\/p>\n

“This resource contained language that, at any time, would be inflammatory but, particularly now, is deeply problematic and inappropriate for our schools.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“The language in the document does not reflect what we believe creates a community that values inclusivity and belonging,” Gilbert concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n
