Terrell-Paige said in a long, since-deleted Facebook post said "Where was all this faith and hope when black homeowners were threatened, intimidated, and harassed by I WANT TO BUY YOUR HOUSE brutes of the Jewish community?" Terrell-Paige made the comments just days after a mass shooting in Jersey City's Greenville neighborhood left six people dead, including Joseph Seals, a longtime city police detective. The ADL said in a statement it "wholeheartedly rejects and condemns" Terrell-Paige's comments in the strongest possible terms." The anti-hate organization said that Terrell-Paige's "lack of remorse or self-reflection following the incident has rendered her unfit to continue to serve on the Board of Education a body entrusted with modeling our shared values of diversity, tolerance, and inclusion for students in our local Jersey City public schools." Terrell-Paige also said that the Jewish "brutes" waved bags of money at black homeowners in Ward F, according to a report on NorthJersey.com, which showed a screenshot of the comments.
