A Jewish boy was coerced into kneeling in front of a Muslim boy and kissing his shoes, with peers threatening to swarm the 12-year-old if he failed to comply. The bullying was filmed and photographed, and then shared on social media.
"We sat down, his parents, the two boys and myself, around the table and explained the velocity of [the bullying] and what it meant to us as parents as far as building bridges between Jews and Muslims in society and not creating division like that photo does," she toldHowever, staff at Cheltenham Secondary College have failed to take disciplinary measures against the initiators of the bullying, his mother said.
This suspension was not related to the original incident but followed an assault against the same Jewish student, which left him with a bruised back and injury on his shoulder, his mother toldStock photo of Melbourne's city skyline on Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia.
