The board of directors of Tel Aviv’s historic Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium High School on Sunday moved to cancel an on-campus student demonstration against enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces, prompting headmaster Ze’ev Degani to resign from his position after 15 years.
Over the weekend, the school board held a meeting in which it decided to overrule Degani’s approval and ban the event from taking place. The principal subsequently stepped down, claiming his employer “barred high school alumni from making their voices heard.”
