Lexi Acosta - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minnesota parents, are your kids at risk? Lexi Acosta, a teacher at Minnesota Internship Center, is spewing vile antisemitism—calling Zionists (95%+ of Jews) 'psychopaths,' denying Israel’s right to exist, cheering those who cut ties with Israel supporters, and even mourning Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. All this from a school with just 4% attendance and a 5% graduation rate.
