Catholic Bigots

A JEWISH family claims their teenage son was subjected to acts of anti-Semitic bullying while attending one of Sydney's leading Catholic high schools.

Reminiscent Of Kristallnacht

The Year7 student and his younger brother were sent to Waverley College in Sydney's east for a "broader" education but the older boy became the butt of racial taunts as students questioned his right to be there. His humiliation at the hands of other students hit rock bottom during an episode called "The Jew Game", in which a $5 note was thrown on the ground to see if the Jewish boy would pick it up.

The Jewish boy was then tormented further by students calling out: "What are you doing here? (at Waverley)".

 

The Father Is Outraged

The boy's father's Saul Ellison said: "Unfortunately he picked up the money."
 

 Poor Boy Needed A Shrink

Since the bullying earlier this year the boy has been forced to see a psychologist "to try to deal with it".
