(Jewish Group) High school coach in Colorado suspended after reports of antisemitism, unsportsmanlike behavior
Parents are concerned after witnessing what they believe were displays of antisemitism at a high school basketball game between Lotus School For Excellence and Denver Academy of Torah.
The boys' basketball game took place on Jan. 22 at Lotus School For Excellence in Aurora. Lotus' coach, "Coach O", reportedly hung a Palestinian flag on a railing near the court and refused to shake hands with DAT's coach after the game.
Lotus School for Excellence says it does not tolerate any form of antisemitism and has launched an investigation into the incident.
Ermek Bakyt, Secondary Principal at Lotus, says their school stands for inclusion and values diversity.
"That coach's single act doesn't represent what we stand for," said Bakyt. "We haven't seen any flags being hung in previous games. This was an isolated incident and we took action immediately."
