Ohio Teen Sues Over Anti-Semitic Bullying
The family of a 14-year-old Ohio girl is suing school officials in the state for allowing bullying and anti-Semitic attacks aimed at their daughter.
The lawsuit alleges that officials at Green High School did nothing to curb years of bullying by classmates, which included being called a ?dirty Jew? and told she would ?rot in hell? for not believing in Jesus Christ, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
The parents brought the case to U.S. District Court last month after transferring their daughter to another public school district. The name of the family is being withheld to protect the identity of the girl.
