School accused of harassment

ALBANY — Gov. An­drew Cuomo has told the state police and New York’s Division of Hu­man Rights to investigate allegations of anti-Semit­ic harassment in a Hud­son Valley school district raised in a lawsuit and a published report. Cuomo also says he expects education officials to tell parents what they knew and have done about the allegations at the Pine Bush Central School District. They included swastikas drawn and left on school property re­maining, anti-Semitic slurs at Jewish students, one student beaten with a hockey stick and another having a swastika forc­ibly drawn on her face.

He says the stories, re­ported Friday by the New York Times , are “deeply disturbing” if true. Schools Superinten­dent Joan Carbone says the district takes dis­crimination reports seri­ously, enforces anti-ha­rassment policies and believes its actions will be vindicated.
