Amanda Spielman, the chief inspector of Ofsted, has been targeted by antisemitic abuse after her backing for a school that controversially banned the hijab and fasting for young children.
The Sunday Times reported Ms Spielman was targeted by online trolls who put three sets of brackets around uses of her name.
The practice was made notorious by “Coincidence Detector”, an antisemitic browser extension available in the Google store that would search websites for apparently Jewish names and automatically add the brackets to either side of them.
The extension was deleted by Google in 2016.
