School founded by refugee from Nazi Germany drops Jewish speaker

An independent school in south Wales established by a refugee from Nazi Germany has faced criticism after withdrawing an invitation to a Jewish journalist after concerns raised by pupils.

Jonathan Sacerdoti had been scheduled to speak at UWC Atlantic last Sunday about journalism and antisemitism.

However, the private sixth-form college, which educates students aged 16-18 from around the world, rescinded the invitation on Friday after some pupils argued that his presence would be “distressing”.
