A riot broke out at a high school in Queens, New York City due to a teacher who attended a pro-Israel rally. The female health teacher was apparently hiding from these students for a period of time as they marauded though the school. Videos of the riot first surfaced on TikTok. Various scenes of chaos are easily observable throughout different parts of the school. Much of what happened is reminiscent of Black Lives Matter riots that happened in the streets during the 2016 and 2020 presidential election campaign cycles. Mainstream media may attempt to label these riots as the product of right-wing white supremacists, but the footage clearly shows something different. The majority of these students are simply influenced by social media due to the information they receive on these platforms filling a void that the public school system and society at large have failed to fill.
