“Jew” crossed out in school dictionary

I just posted this in 90 days, but think it’s probably more appropriate here.

I live in London, so school is very multicultural. DC came home this week saying that the word “Jew” had been crossed out in a school dictionary. I’m not sure whether it was found by the teacher or another pupil. I’ve no doubt that school will try to address this, but it seems so dark. This is a primary school.
I feel really uncomfortable not knowing which parents are chatting at the school gates are really harbouring enough hatred at home for a child to do that.

That’s really really awful. The symbolism of doing that is deeply unsettling. I really hope the school deal with this appropriately.

I am Christian and find this very disturbing. I am concerned by the rise in antisemitism and to me this crossing out seems to show a very bad attitude.
