Principal of NYC school that faced turmoil over rampant antisemitism is being removed, replaced with a Moslem
2024-08-24
[NYPOST] The principal of a Brooklyn high school plagued by a gang of Hitler-loving youths and acts of antisemitism is being removed and replaced with a Muslim educator, The Post has learned.

Dara Kammerman's departure as interim principal of Origins High School comes six months after The Post exposed complaints that she had failed to stem outbursts against Jewish and LBGTQ students and teachers.

Kammerman sent an email to the school community on Monday saying she will be ''stepping down'' after working 11 years at the Sheepshead Bay school. She made no mention of the turmoil, calling Origins ''beautifully diverse'' and saying ''I am proud of what the school has become over the years.''
"Diversity is our strength, y'know."
The change also comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed against the city Department of Education by Jewish teacher Danielle Kaminsky and campus manager Michael Beaudry, who allege they were removed from the school in retaliation for blowing the whistle on anti-Jewish and anti-gay hate.

Kaminsky, 34, was terrorized by teens who called her ''a dirty Jew,'' scrawled swastikas in the classroom, gave the Nazi salute and told her ''I wish you were killed'' in the Holocaust, she said. Students tore down an Israeli flag in her classroom, and wrote ''DIE'' on the door.

The misconduct continued because Kammerman did not adequately discipline the students — once insisting that teens taunting the teacher about liking Hitler ''were trying to have an academic conversation,'' records show.

In a separate email, Superintendent Michael Prayor said Kammerman ''will continue to be a valuable member of my team.'' He did not elaborate on her new role. She made $170,508 last year.

Prayor replaced her with Ahmed Elmaliki, a former English teacher with less than two years' experience as an assistant principal at Boerum Hill School for International Studies.

In his own email, Elmaliki described himself as ''the child of hard-working immigrants from Yemen.''
