NYC Teacher Faces Discipline Over 9/11 Conspiracy Theories on YouTube
A New York City teacher from IS 281 is facing disciplinary action from the Department of Education for promoting 9/11 conspiracy theories, including antisemitic claims about Larry Silverstein, on his YouTube channel.

New York, NY, September 12, 2026 — A teacher employed by the New York City Department of Education at Intermediate School 281 is reportedly facing disciplinary proceedings. The action stems from content shared on the educator’s personal YouTube channel, which allegedly promoted conspiracy theories related to the September 11, 2001, attacks.
According to the information available, the disciplinary action was initiated by the Department of Education. The specific nature of the theories promoted by the teacher includes allegations and claims that are described as antisemitic. These theories reportedly involved individuals such as Larry Silverstein, a prominent real estate developer involved in the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site.
The Department of Education has not released detailed statements regarding the specific charges or the scope of the disciplinary process. Information concerning the exact disciplinary actions being considered or taken was not immediately provided. The teacher’s name has also not been publicly disclosed in connection with these proceedings.
The allegations suggest a pattern of content creation on a private YouTube channel that has drawn scrutiny from the educational authorities. The promotion of conspiracy theories, particularly those involving antisemitic remarks, has become a point of concern, leading to the current investigation and potential disciplinary measures against the educator.
Further details regarding the timeline of the YouTube content’s discovery, the specifics of the disciplinary process, and any potential outcomes remain pending. The Department of Education has a policy to address conduct by its employees that may violate professional standards or school system regulations.
