California organizers defend pro-Palestinian ‘Teach-In’ from criticism it’s ‘anti-Israel propaganda’
Teachers in Oakland, California, held a pro-Palestinian “teach in,” on Wednesday, which asked elementary school-age children to draw what they think a Zionist leader looks like and define a massacre.
Oakland Unified School District’s superintendent, Kyla Johnson-Trammell, issued a warning to teachers planning to hold the unsanctioned event, stating the curriculum did not align with district educational protocol. Despite the warning, about 100 educators took part in teaching the unauthorized material to students ages 4 to 18, the East Bay Times reported.
The “teach-in” materials were listed as “lessons for Kindergartners to 12th graders, art lessons, math lessons, films you can screen and ways to highlight Palestinian joy,” according to a review of the curriculum by Fox News Digital.
OUSD teacher, Judy Greenspan, who served as an organizer for the teach-in, told Fox News Digital that OEA for Palestine “absolutely” plans to hold future events, adding that Superintendent Johnson-Trammell should change her position and “get on the right side of history.”
