CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: Private School Expels Siblings after Parents Report Antisemitic Bullying | Civil Rights Lawsuit Filed

Hi everyone.

The Nysmith School for the Gifted, a famous private school in Herndon, Virginia, has come under fire for allegedly expelling three Jewish siblings after receiving reports of severe antisemitic bullying.

According to a civil rights complaint filed by the Brandeis Center, the school failed to act despite repeated pleas from the parents, and subsequently expelled the victims rather than the bullies.

The Brandeis Center is seeking compensatory damages, funding for online education, and mandatory anti‑Semitism training at Nysmith.

The school has denied the allegations, calling media coverage “incomplete” and stating no current legal action is known.

This case raises concerns about accountability in private schools, particularly in addressing hate-based bullying. The alleged failure to address anti-Semitic abuse and subsequent removal of the victims has provoked widespread condemnation and legal scrutiny.

🔍 What happened
The Louis D. Brandeis Center and Dillon PLL C filed a civil‑rights complaint on July 1, 2025, on behalf of three Jewish siblings—including an 11‑year‑old 6th‑grader—who were expelled from Nysmith School for the Gifted in Herndon, VA, after their family reported severe anti‑Semitic bullying

The complaint alleges that, following the October 7, 2023 Israel–Hamas attack, the girl was taunted with slurs (“baby killers,” “they deserve to die”) and had classmates say they were “glad her uncle died in the October 7th attack,” despite the uncle passing years earlier

Parents repeatedly notified the school, but it reportedly took no action. Instead, the school canceled a Holocaust survivor talk, displayed a Palestinian flag among others, and students engaged in projects featuring Hitler imagery

🚨 The climax
Despite the fact that the siblings were the victims, the school expelled them, citing “lack of trust and cooperation” and advised the parents to have their child “toughen up”

Brandeis Center chairman Kenneth L. Marcus said the school “sent a clear message: bullying is acceptable, as long as it’s against Jewish families”

🎙 Community response
Coverage from Washington Jewish Week confirms the expulsions occurred after the family reported the bullying

On Reddit’s r/Jewish, users called the case “one of the most egregious and blatantly anti‑Semitic situations” and emphasized the disturbing Hitler imagery in a class project:
