Baltimore City Public Schools is the subject of a federal probe following a complaint alleging “egregious and persistent discrimination” — with one still-employed teacher accused of threatening to “go all Nazi” on a Jewish student and other classmates saying “all Jews should die.”
President Trump’s Education Department launched the Title VI investigation after receiving evidence that Charm City schools tolerated pervasive harassment of Jewish kids in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The same teacher who made the “go all Nazi” threat also “personally directed Nazi salutes toward a Jewish student,” according to the complaint filed Thursday with the department’s Office of Civil Rights.
A subsequent BCPS investigation confirmed the incident occurred, but no disciplinary action was taken against the teacher, who is still employed by the city.
Students also tormented their Jewish peers by exclaiming that “6 million was not enough,” in reference to the Holocaust, and scrawling Nazi graffiti on desks and in textbooks, the complaint alleged.
