Knox students chat sprouted hatred, racism
The chat included antisemitic, homophobic, misogynistic, child sexually abusive and pro-Hitler rants.

The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies has written to Sydney’s Knox Grammar in Sydney
CEO Darren Bark said: “We are horrified by reports high school students in Sydney are expressing antisemitic and pro-Hitler sentiments online.
To glorify and praise an abhorrent figure responsible for the genocide of millions of innocent people is both grossly offensive and unacceptable.
We invite the entire Knox Grammar cohort to visit the Sydney Jewish Museum and to meet with a Holocaust survivor, so they can realise there is nothing remotely funny about their comments.
We would also welcome participation by Knox students in the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies’ Respect, Understanding and Acceptance program, which breaks down barriers between students from different religious and ethnic backgrounds.”
NSW police are investigating. Some boys have left the school and others are suspended.
The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies has received a reply from the school.
