\u201cThat\u2019s a very dangerous and antisemitic trope coming from Nazi Germany, where Hitler would categorize Jews as subhuman and insects. He said to restore Germany\u2019s greatness, they had to exterminate the insects,\u201d New York City Public Schools Alliance President Karen Feldman said.<\/p>\n
Camiolo, 40, who records show has worked at the DOE since at least 2020, ironically serves as the Respect for All liaison at the school, a DOE website says. <\/a><\/p>\n She earned $115,665 in 2025, public records show.<\/p>\n The Respect for All program is designed to fight bullying and help schools \u201cfoster and maintain safe learning environments that are supportive, inclusive, and free from discrimination, harassment, and intimidation of any kind,\u201d a DOE website says. <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen a Jewish student faces discrimination or bias, they have no one to go to if their Respect for All liaison traffics in antisemitism\u2026 a lot of kids are hurting,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n Social worker Lauren Camiolo serves as the Respect for All liaison at Landmark High School.

Too many educators use their political beliefs to hurt Jewish students and fellow educators,\u201d United Jewish Teachers President Moshe Spern said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the person responsible for \u2018Respect for All\u2019 expresses hostility toward Jews or white students, it raises serious concerns about both the educator and the school system in which she works,\u201d David Bernstein, founder of the education watchdog North American Values Institute, said.<\/p>\n \u201cBullying and harassment have no place in any of NYC\u2019s 1,800+ schools, regardless of anyone\u2019s perceived race, color, age, creed, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship\/immigration status, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, or weight,\u201d the website states.<\/p>\n
