Education Minister Sarah Mitchell has condemned students who posted child abuse material, racist and homophobic videos and misogynistic rants to a secret group. And Jewish groups want the elite schoolboys to meet a Holocaust survivor.
The internet chatroom scandal of Knox Grammar students has been condemned by the state’s top Jewish group which has invited the entire school cohort to meet a holocaust survivor so they could learn the abhorrent reality of their anti-Semitic comments.
Education Minister Sarah Mitchell declared there should be zero tolerance for the behaviour of the Knox students.
“I was completely shocked and appalled to learn of the activities within these chat groups,” she said.
“This is far from the behaviour we expect from students in NSW. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in any capacity.”
NSW Jewish Board of Deputies CEO Darren Bark said he was horrified by the pro-Hitler sentiment promoted by the students.
“To glorify and praise an abhorrent figure responsible for the genocide of millions of innocent people is both grossly offensive and unacceptable,” he said.
“We invite the entire Knox Grammar cohort to visit the Sydney Jewish Museum and to meet with a Holocaust survivor, so they can realise there is nothing remotely funny about their comments.”
