Stuyvesant High School is embroiled in controversy after hateful graffiti referencing the Holocaust was found in a restroom, which has been described as a "cover-up" due to the lack of communication to parents. Despite the school's measures to enhance security, including locking bathrooms and requiring student sign-in, they failed to address the disturbing content of the graffiti. The message, interpreted as a minimizing reference to Holocaust victims, has raised alarms among educators regarding the implications for historical education and rising antisemitism among students.
"Using the 271,000 figure to deny the Holocaust dangerously distorts history and fuels antisemitism. Seeing this referenced in graffiti at Stuyvesant is shocking—and a clear sign that our education system is failing," says Karen Feldman, a Holocaust educator.
The crude drawing in black marker depicts a person behind a counter with a text bubble above their head reading, '6 mil pizzas? We can only do 271K,' pointing to alarming anti-Semitic sentiments.
