Jews Worldwide On High Alert As Massachusetts School Board Member Refers To Jewish Colleague As A ‘Kike’

Jewish advocacy groups worldwide are collectively clutching their pearls after a school board member in Lowell, Massachusetts, referred to a former school district leader as a “kike” on live television — and are predictably calling for his resignation:

Bob Hoey should step down from the Lowell School Committee, the mayor of the Boston suburb said.

We lost the kike, oh, I mean, the Jewish guy,” Hoey said Wednesday morning on “City Life,” a news opinion show, according to video posted by the local Jewish Journal. “I hate to say it, but that’s what people used to say behind his back.”

Hoey, an elected official in the city of 111,000, was referring to Gary Frisch, the former CFO of the Lowell Public Schools.

According to the Lowell Sun, the comment followed a lengthy discussion in which Hoey and the show’s host, George Anthes, complained about or denigrated undocumented immigrants, diversity in the local high school’s student government, the concept of “equity,” Indian-American families and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive New York Democrat.

Hoey used the slur amid a discussion of school budgets.

Anthes did not react when the slur was uttered, but 15 minutes later, according to the Sun, Hoey said, “I just mentioned something about Gary Frisch, I said a bad name.” Hoey went on to disparage an Arab-American local official and called himself an “Archie Bunker,” a reference to the bigoted TV character from “All in the Family,” then asked whether “white guys” matter.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has reached out to Hoey for comment.

Mayor John Leahy called the remark “offensive and repulsive” in a statement Wednesday, and said he would call a joint meeting of the Lowell School Committee and City Council in order to formally call for Hoey’s resignation.

It seems as if Hoey was attempting to use the term “kike” ironically — in quotation marks — awkwardly trying to explain that others called Frisch “kike” behind his back — and that he — Hoey — didn’t necessarily approve of it.

But that’s not how it came across — and he even seemed to realize it as he tried to backtrack — only to further dig himself deeper into a hole — he simply could not work his way out of this treacherous minefield of identity politics.

And it’s rather ironic that Hoey described himself as an “Archie Bunker” type — a cartoonish character created and promoted by the Jewish television producer Norman Lear — to openly ridicule the values of White working class conservatives.

Of course, in retrospect, Archie Bunker turned out to be an unintentional prophet of sorts — all of his warnings and criticisms of liberalism have turned out to be true — and when they cancel you, it’s no laughing matter — you won’t be given the benefit of the doubt.

Luckily, Jews worldwide were immediately alerted of Hoey’s “antisemitic” comments — and appropriate actions were swiftly taken to have him canceled — and “another” potential Holocaust™ has been averted.
