Pennsylvania school principal fired after 'Jew money' antisemitic rant
A Pennsylvania principal whose antisemitic tirade about “Jew money” was inadvertently recorded has been fired.
Lower Gwynedd Elementary School Principal Phillip Leddy was axed Tuesday by the Wissahickon School Board.
Leddy, 45, was returning a call from a parent when he got the dad’s voicemail and left a message, but then apparently failed to end the call, Philadelphia’s ABC 7 reported.
Leddy allegedly accused the parent of having “Jew money” and could be heard muttering “they control the banks,” according to recording, which was posted by the advocacy group StopAntisemitism.
”They go to Jew camp… everyone at the camp hates that family… ” he was also caught saying, according to the group’s recording.
Parents in the district have accused the school board of attempting to paper over their longstanding issues with antisemitism by hanging Leddy out to dry.
