Brown University, not Ivy but prestigious, was notorious for its "Jewish quota". <br /> I used to hear that anti Semitic crap from students. To make matters worse, I taught (happily retired) learning disabled high schoolers who lacked analytical skills and just repeated whatever they heard. I would ask them if I was a Jew, having all this money, what was I doing standing in front of a classroom attempting to teach algebra to kids who had so much difficulty learning it? Enough of them stopped and actually thought about it. I would then go on with the lesson. Except for one Jewish principal who was a buffoon, I wouldn't have ever expected admin to address this issue. A couple of them were anti Semitic themselves. Having grown up in Nassau County in a town that was not very Jewish at all and very provincial, I was used to the powers that be not addressing, and even condoning, anti Semitic attitudes and talk. Covello, in spite of her academic credentials, sounds like she'll always be a small town girl. She's book smart and sounds manipulative and small minded. My motto, when it came to admin and even the union, was always "expect nothing".
