Sensitivity workshops in wake of school team bullying incidents 

In the wake of the revelation of verbal bullying of junior varsity football players at Monroe-Woodbury schools, Rabbi Steven Burg, eastern Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center & Museums of Tolerance will be coming to the district to conduct sensitivity training.

“Enlightened minds are needed to educate our children and families by God to love they neighbor,” said Monroe Town Supervisor Harley Doles.

Kiryas Joel School Superintendant Joel Petlin and Doles have arranged the session, the date of which has yet to be determined. Monroe Superintendent Elsie Rodriguez has agreed to the meeting.

While there has been much talk of anti-Semitism as the Hasidic village of Kiryas Joel is within the town, these football team-related incidents were not related to those, said Doles. They had to do with other religious and ethnic minorities, he said.

Rodriguez pulled the plug on the last two games of the junior varsity season because of the bullying.

“These workshops will signal an end to dividing Monroe and bring us together once again,” said Doles. “It is not about bringing God into the classroom, but in bringing the lesson of tolerance to all.”

Doles said he has contacted the NAACP and will reach out to Latinos Unidos and other minority-based organizations to see if they would offer to conduct workshops at the school district and elsewhere.
