High school teachers in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) have been instructed to talk to their students about the war between Israel and Hamas.
This sounds entirely appropriate until you learn that administrators provided teachers with an educational resource that states, “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than Palestinian terrorism.”
Parents who defend education is, according to their web sitea “national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists who promote harmful agendas.”
The group discovered district memoirs in the social and ethnic studies departments and shared them National Review.
Of the many resources intended to facilitate classroom discussions, the first on the list, titled “Teaching the Middle East,” promotes “various anti-Zionist articles and viewpoints.” Among them is “an article published by Jerome Slater at the Middle East Policy Council,” National Review reports. “In the article, Slater blames Israel for Hamas violence and speculates that failed Palestinian resistance efforts have made Palestinian terrorism a last resort.”
“While all terrorism is morally wrong, it is still possible and perhaps necessary to make some distinctions. There can be degrees of moral wrong; we usually make these distinctions and consider extenuating circumstances, especially between moral wrongs committed in the pursuit of just causes and the double moral wrong of injustices done for unjust causes,” Slater argued. “For several reasons, Israeli terrorism has been morally worse than Palestinian terrorism.”
SFUSD encouraged teachers to think about how they could “educate with hope for a truly just and lasting peace in Israel-Palestine.” Students should be asked, administrators said, “how has the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict materialized over time into this current conflagration?”
“Teach Mideast is run by the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington, DC think tank that in 2007 accepted funding from Saudi Arabia,” National Review reports.
“Challenging Anti-Semitism from a Collective Liberation Framework” is a video given to teachers in San Francisco.
It aims to “unravel the false fusion of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism”.

According to the video's description, “The need for educational resources about anti-Semitism within a collective liberation pedagogic framework is particularly important at this time as the rise of white nationalist violence targets many of our communities, including Jewish, Muslim, Black, immigrant communities, trans and queer people, among others, and as false accusations of anti-Semitism are directed against those seeking Palestinian justice” .
SFUSD has been actively trying to breed mini-activists for some time.
On October 18, students in the district called for a ceasefire in Gaza and walked out of their classes in solidarity with the Palestinian “resistance”.

Coincidentally, the district's ethnic studies department supervisor, Nikhil Laud, told teachers at the end of a memo that an after-school event on Oct. 18 would provide a “space for healing and reflection, specifically for professors of Ethnic Studies”.
“San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Hillary Ronen supported the pro-Palestinian student protest and said she would not remain silent as she 'watches the Israeli military commit genocide in our name.'” , reports National Review.
“SFUSD officials discovered a swastika at a public high school in November,” according to the outlet. “The city's board of supervisors voted 8-3 in support of a cease-fire resolution Tuesday.”
