A Catholic school in Massachusetts has apologized after some of its pupils chanted “you killed Jesus” at a game against a school with many Jewish students.
The fan section of Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury unleashed the anti-Semitic cheer when its basketball team visited Newton North High School on Friday night.
Memorial’s President Peter Folan called the chanting “unacceptable” and said that the offending students had to personally apologize to Newton’s interim principal after the game.
Newton Superintendent David Fleishman told Wicked Local that the incident was “upsetting and troubling and highly insensitive” for him and his students.

Newton School Superintendent David Fleishman said that the chant was "“upsetting and troubling and highly insensitive."

The Anti-Defamation League had been contacted to speak to Memorial responding to the incident.
The chant reportedly came in response to Newton fans’ chants about the Catholic school being all-boys, referring to it as a “sausage fest.”
Catholic Memorial won the game 77-73.

The students were made to personally apologize for the chant to the interim principal of the school (pictured).

Friday night's chant marked at least the third time in in the last month that high school students made national headlines for offensive cheers.
In the middle of February a group of largely white students at Dallas Center-Grimes in Des Moines began chanting "Trump" after they lost to a school with many Hispanic students.
A similar incident happened when members of Andrean High School taunted Bishop Noll Institute with a giant cutout of Donald Trump's head and a chant of "build that wall."
