In December, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) sent a letter to the President of the National Association of Independent Schools, Debra Wilson, demanding answers about the inclusion of antisemitic speakers at its conferences in Denver, Colorado and how such hateful rhetoric was allowed to be spewed.
“Following Hamas’ violent invasion of Israel in October of 2023, antisemitism has significantly increased throughout the United States and around the world. Jewish students are being targeted and harassed on college campuses, synagogues have been vandalized, and Jewish-owned businesses have faced attacks. Even national organizations with nonprofit status are allowing antisemitism to permeate into their conferences. It’s unacceptable and those responsible must be held accountable,” said Rep. Feenstra. “In response to antisemitism at conferences recently held by the National Association of Independent Schools in Denver, I led a letter to the organization’s president condemning this inexcusable behavior and requesting answers about how certain speakers were allowed to spew anti-Jewish hatred and how such actions will be prevented in the future. We must always speak out against antisemitism and stand with our Jewish community here in the United States and our allies in Israel.”
