Great fun

A local NAACP leader in New Jersey slammed Chassidic Jews at a community forum earlier this week in the town of Montclair.

James Harris, chair of the education committee of the Montclair branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), began his speech on Monday by saying that he was speaking as the chair of the New Jersey Association of Black Educators.

The local news site Tap Into Montclair first reported his remarks.

In Lakewood, Harris said that “the Jewish community controls the board of education and the city council, but they spend huge amounts of money sending their kids to the yeshivahs, and they’ve gutted the budget for the black and Latino students who are left in public schools.”
