NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Posts ‘Gleeful Tweet’ After NYPD Shutters Jewish School

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Posts ‘Gleeful Tweet’ After NYPD Shutters Jewish School
Excerpt: On Monday, de Blasio posted a tweet alerting his followers to the fact that the New York Police Department had shuttered a Yeshiva — a Jewish seminary — for conducting classes with dozens of people. The politician went on to say his administration has issued a cease-and-desist order “and will make sure we keep our communities and our kids safe.” Political strategist Liz Mair asked de Blasio why he put specific emphasis on using the word “Yeshiva” instead of just writing “school.” “You keep falling into this trap of singling out Jewish people and things and using phraseology that makes it clear you’re doing so,” she wrote. “This is not a good idea or a good look.”
