A weeklong investigation into allegations that Denver school board Vice President Monica Hunter used antisemitic language has concluded that the claims are "she said, he said." The report, delivered to the board on Thursday, indicates that the only evidence supporting the allegations is a note made by Superintendent Alex Marrero after a meeting with Hunter on January 27.
According to the report, Marrero stated that Hunter warned him not to trust board member Amy Klein Molk, who he called a "Zionist bitch" during the meeting. However, Hunter denies these allegations, claiming they are retaliation for her efforts to discuss the Superintendent's employment status. The investigation, ordered by board member Xóchitl Gaytán, found that due to time constraints, it was not possible to interview other witnesses. This is the third time the board has investigated one of its members in the past five years.
