The organization Stop Antisemitism and others have long accused Rachel Griffin-Accurso aka Ms. Rachel of antisemitism. In fact, Stop Antisemitism had her as a finalist for their “Antisemite of the Year” contest, a contest I am not really a fan of to begin with. And I certainly would not have put her in the same category as some of their other “finalists” like Stew Peters and Bryce Mitchell.
Granted, she seems selective in her compassion for children, choose Gazan ones over Israeli ones, and she has collaborated with a Hamas fanboy. This certainly has provided grounds for suspected antisemitism. But I did not feel comfortable labeling her an antisemite on this basis.
I might need to reconsider though, after she just got busted for ‘liking’ an antisemitic comment on Instagram.
Miss Rachel has since released a tearful video claiming she meant to delete it and must have “liked” it by accident:
I might even be inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, except for what happened after this video. She responded positively to a comment by an account that loves to troll Jews, alluding to an antisemitic conspiracy:
and then allowed another antisemitic comment to remain for a long time without deleting it:
We are left with two possibilities: either the world’s most famous preschool educator is remarkably bad at using the apps that made her famous, or the mask is starting to slip.
But if you ask me, the “oops, I slipped” defense only works if you don’t keep falling in the same direction.
