And as parents of a former Berkeley High graduate, please lower the inflamed situation to a complicates international issue, which President Biden and Anthony Blinken (with their experience) are trying to navigate. Such protests lead to more political fragmentation!

We have been asking for this since more than 8 years ago. Our daughter frequently felt fear for her safety throughout her 4 years at Berkeley High School.

Frightened kids don't learn well. It's unconscionable to allow Antisemitic speech and actions. Set the example. Do the right thing.

Our children are watching and learning from us. We need to teach them the simplest of rules - to love your neighbor as yourself.

Reports of antisemitism are up several hundred percent in the last month. Protect our Jewish students from being targeted by racists and anti-Semites who attend berkeley unified schools.

It's important to remember at all times, and now especially, that we are all human beings with hope and fear. We are all impacted, and it should not be significant to remember that. Students should feel safe in their schools.

Nazi Germany promoted by BUSD echoes loudly. Time for all Jewish kids to abandon BUSD for their own safety.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to support this effort. . Though not a parent or grandparent, I stand with you in caring for the precious children who are being adversely affected by what is happening.

I am a board member at a Berkeley synagogue and a friend of families in the BUSD. The level of hostility and antisemitism in the schools is shocking and disappointment. Our kids deserve a safe educational environment.

You need to help our kids develop some moral clarity. The slaughter committed by Hamas is not morally equivalent to the actions of Israel’s professional military. How people die and under what circumstances is relevant to making moral distinctions.
