The head of governors at a Jewish primary school was driven to seek police protection after parents and activists bombarded her with threats over the institution’s perceived connection to Israel, the JC can reveal.
Simone Bryant, who resigned from King David in Birmingham last July citing the toughest period of her 13-year tenure, said her school was labelled “genocidal” and accused of child abuse.
Another school, King Solomon High in Redbridge, east London, cancelled its October 7 memorial following a claim that it was “forcing Zionist propaganda down the throats of the students”.
Both schools have large numbers of Muslim parents, though only a minority have been hostile.
