Brian Larer on WNYC in our Spring Membership Drive trying to reach our goal of 10,000 donors.

Thank you for being one if you can.

New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks is back with us. He was in the news most recently

for testifying before the House Education Committee about anti-Semitism in

New York City Public Schools and he got some mostly good press for that for acknowledging

that it's a real problem that needs to be dealt with with consequences and he

gave some specifics but at the same time kind of not getting rolled by at least Stophonic you know what I mean who may have just been out for his head at one point

Stophonic asked banks about origins high school in Sheep's Head Bay where a Jewish teacher is suing the education department over repeated

expressions of anti-Semitism that she alleges were, quote, effectively and promoted and encouraged at the school.

Here is a little bit just like 30 seconds of Banks and Stefonic on origins high school.

What we have found are wide-range deeply troubling anti-Semitic things that have happened

at origins high school.

This is the one case that has troubled me the most, Congresswoman.

I will tell you that.

So what are the enforcement actions? I'm trying to tell you we have we have in fact suspended a number of students at that school

but currently this case now is under litigation and I'm being advised not to speak to the specific things that have happened there.

But just know that what I had visited that school after these allegations have come up.

I met with parents, family, staff, students.

I'm deeply troubled by what has happened there, and we're going to get to the bottom of it.

That from the hearing last Wednesday, Chancellor David Banks joins us on that and more now.

Chancellor Royo's appreciate when you come on.

Welcome back to WNYC.
