Opinion: Cherry Creek school students drew swastikas on their arms. Our response is love.

There’s nothing harder than having to tell a middle schooler they shouldn’t be ashamed to be Jewish. Last month, students in Cherry Creek School District drew swastikas on their arms and made antisemitic taunts to their Jewish classmates after watching a presentation about the Holocaust.As a local rabbi, the difficult task of counseling these students and families fell on my colleagues’ and my shoulders. The school disciplined the offending students and is working to implement a training program educating people about antisemitism. These initiatives are a great first step, but what is lacking in the school’s response is any clear direction for the Jewish students who were targeted. What can be done to ensure the victims feel safe coming back to school and feel secure in their Jewish identity?Although it may not be a daily occurrence here in Colorado, moments like these make us stop to think about what we can do to prevent this from happening in the future.Recently, the Biden W...

The owners of land adjacent to the river forced him to leave. He filed a lawsuit claiming a right, as a member of the public, to wade on the bottom of the river. He pressed this case, and won, until Colorado’s attorney general, with legal support from landowners, appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court and prevailed.The high court judges, in a unanimous ruling...
