UWC Atlantic, an elite school founded by a refugee from Nazi Germany, faced backlash after cancelling an invitation to a Jewish commentator to speak to pupils. The school, which aims to promote global understanding, reversed its decision after a group of pupils complained. The commentator, Jonathan Sacerdoti, had been invited by Jewish and Israeli-backgrounded students who wanted to introduce balance into discussions about Israel. The school offered him the chance to address students in a pre-recorded video, but he declined, stating it would prevent real-time discussion.
