A Jewish teacher had to hide in a locked office as students stormed the halls demanding she be fired for attending a pro-Israel rally, say reports
Students flooded their school halls in protest over a teacher's Facebook profile photo, which showed her at a pro-Israel rally, the New York Post reported. Police were called to respond to the incident on Monday morning and the teacher was placed in a locked office.
TikTok videos appear to show students at Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, running through the school and jumping.
One senior at the school told the Post students planned the action in response to the teacher's photo. The Facebook photo, posted on TikTok, showed the teacher holding a sign saying "I stand with Israel."
"A bunch of kids decided to make a group chat, expose her, talk about it, and then talk about starting a riot," the senior said.

How can the teacher return to class knowing so many antisemitic students would be willing to harm her?

OP
There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding an "I stand with Israel" sign.

There currently is a cease-fire, I guess that hasn't gotten into the thick brains of these kids

I bet not a one of these smoothbrain "students" could articulate what the conflict is about or where it is.

No! I implied this is a reason religion should not be taught in public schools.

Awful, and disgusting! Poor teacher. And trashing parts of the school? Nasty!

Ok, then. But do you think at least a few might have their fears mitigated?...

I'd have quite the stare down with any and all students if I were the teacher.
