If it were a school rally for “peace” and in support of the Gaza flotilla and the teachers silently unfurled a pro-Israel banner, would everyone still be angry that they chose the wrong time/wrong venue/wrong method?

I posit that people would be even more angry, as unfurling an Israeli flag would be seen as pro-"them Joooos."

If the teachers wanted to protest, they should have stood out on the sidewalk, not during a top-dead-center moment of the kid's lives. It was tasteless, kind of like protesting marriage at a wedding.

These “teachers” are with the “peace lovers” who carry signs and banners and shout ,” Commit NO violence in MY name”.
Yet what is their own reaction when the danger, peril and violence targets THEM personally. The screams for violent assistance would shatter the eardrums of a brass statue.
If you desire a definition of HYPOCRACY here it is.
