What is School Ties about? Toggle content

Title: School Ties In 1955, David Greene, a working-class Jewish teenager, receives a football scholarship to an exclusive Massachusetts prep school. He quickly becomes the team's hero and attracts a beautiful débutante, but he keeps his Jewish identity a secret to avoid discrimination. When his classmates discover his religion, they turn against him, led by Charlie Dillon who is jealous of David's success. The tension escalates when a Nazi flag and anti-Semitic message are left in David's room. Fed up with the harassment, David confronts his classmates and demands that the perpetrator reveal themselves. No one shows up, and David calls out their cowardice. Overwhelmed by pressure from his family, Dillon cheats on an exam, but David and Rip Van Kelt spot him and choose not to report him. When the teacher finds the cheat sheet, he threatens to fail the entire class if the cheater doesn't come forward. In the end, Dillon accidentally reveals himself as the cheater after bumping into another student leaving the exam.
