Students allegedly beat up cops inside HS where pro-Israel teacher hid from student mob during anti-Semitic riot days before

Students allegedly physically attacked police officers inside a New York City high school earlier this month — the same school where, just days before, a pro-Israel teacher hid from a student mob during an anti-Semitic riot.

What are the details?

Three students were fighting two other students inside Hillcrest High School in Queens around noon Nov. 15, the New York Post reported, adding that school safety agents who intervened in the brawl became beatdown targets themselves.

Cellphone video that the NYPD verified captured a physical attack on one of the officers, the paper added.

Police arrested four students — a pair of 15-year-old males and two 16-year-old males — in the aftermath and issued juvenile reports to them, the Post said, citing the NYPD.

The paper said police issue juvenile reports in lieu of misdemeanor or felony charges when the suspects are young minors.

Three NYPD school officers were injured in the attack, the Post said.

Republican NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said on social media that Hillcrest's "administration tried to cover this up in the same way they tried to cover up the riot."

More from her post:

It's clear that the administration of Hillcrest is totally compromised and either unwilling or unable to do what's necessary to provide a safe environment to their students or their faculty. Furthermore, they seem more than willing to cover up crimes committed by their students in service of a political narrative, and to prevent these criminal students from facing consequences.

Were it not brought to the attention of my office, this may have remained covered up. And who knows what else they're hiding at this point.

This cannot continue. Hillcrest High School must be shut down pending a full and thorough investigation, and the administration must be held accountable. Furthermore, the students who committed these acts must be arrested immediately and face appropriate criminal charges.

This cannot continue in our schools. Order and discipline must be restored. We've tried 'progressive' educational theory for far too long, and it's gotten us absolutely nowhere. Our students and our city deserve far better than this.

The Post said an email to the NYC Department of Education was not immediately returned late Sunday.

What about the anti-Semitic riot at the HS?

Just six days after Hillcrest students allegedly beat on police officers, a pro-Israel teacher there reportedly was forced to lock herself in a school office after hundreds of Palestinian-supporting students caused an anti-Semitic riot.

Hillcrest students reportedly found out that the teacher took part in an Oct. 9 pro-Israel demonstration in Queens, after which students reportedly stormed the school's hallways to protest the teacher's pro-Israel viewpoint. The pre-planned protest allegedly deteriorated into a riot, during which pro-Palestinian students reportedly attempted to barge into the teacher's classroom despite school staffers guarding it.
