School defends actions after Jill Kargman’s anti-Semitism claims

Former “Odd Mom Out” star Jill Kargman has pulled her son out of posh St. Bernard’s School on the Upper East Side, claiming that he was the victim of anti-Semitism.

Kargman said in an online essay that her son, Fletch, 10, came home in tears after hearing a fellow classmate say: “I’m a fan of Hitler! God sent Hitler down to kill the Jews because they nailed Jesus to the cross!”

Kargman says she e-mailed the principal, whom Kargman claimed “shrugged it off” — but she said that when she pressed for action, the student in question was forced to miss two field trips as punishment.

Kargman said the incident put her “in a dark spiral of anguish for a month.”

But St. Bernard’s told us in a statement that it “does not tolerate anti-Semitism” and that, “while we do not disclose publicly individual disciplinary actions with respect to our students, particularly as they are young children, the essay does not accurately or fully describe the underlying facts or the disciplinary actions taken.”
