Here's How One School District Reacted to Hamas' Attack on Israel
Townhall.com ^ | 11 October A.D. 2023 | Madeline Leesman

This week, a superintendent of a Massachusetts school district sent an email to their staff that included links to left-wing resources arguing that “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians.”

According to parental rights organization Parents Defending Education, the email sent from the superintendent of Revere Public Schools was to alert parents of “the investigation currently underway regarding racist and anti-Semitic graffiti” on school grounds. The email included links to “teaching resources” about the conflict.

“Learning for Justice has provided the teaching resources at this link which is specific to the Israeli and Palestinian fighting,” the email stated. “Please note that we have staff members and students whose families come from both countries. These events are likely triggering for them but also for students and staff members with families in any of the many countries that are currently at war either within or at war with another country.”

PDE pointed out that the link provided by the superintendent to Learning for Justice attacks Israel (via Parents Defending Education):

The long history surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is deep and complicated. But there are things we know to be true. We know this conflict connects to imperialism and other oppressive systems that we encourage educators to name and address with students. We know that people are dying, fighting for their lives and engaging in liberation movements to be heard and treated with dignity—and that they’ve been doing so for decades.

PDE explained that Learning for Justice “is an organization that has pushed for its “Social Justice Standards” to be adopted in schools throughout the country.” This includes “anti-bias” education.

And, a link provided by Learning for Justice goes to the Middle East Policy Council, which claims that “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians.”

"It should come as no surprise to anyone that Learning for Justice - the Southern Poverty Law Center's curriculum project - is promoting a one-sided progressive narrative about Israel. SPLC jumped the shark long ago, and it is lamentable that any school district in America still chooses to use their materials in the face of the group's flagrant ideological bias and obvious contempt for parents,” Nicki Neily, president of PDE, said in a statement.

What a #ing denial of the gruesome atrocity. That a-hole should be summarily removed from the undeserved position of managing the school environment.

Dianne Kelly, superintendent of Revere Public Schools.

Dianne has a piled High and deeper degree.

Best check to see she's not beheading any Jewish babies in the basement of the skool...

‘This week, a superintendent of a Massachusetts school district sent an email to their staff that included links to left-wing resources arguing that “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians.”’

So how many babies, children and innocent men and women did Hamas murder?
So like this superintendent needs a good dose of tar and feathers and a nice comfortable ride out of town on a rail.

Demand the school board fire him. If they refuse turn them out at the next election.

Dump her off in Gaza with an "I am an Israeli woman" sign on her chest.

The locals will sort her out in a hurry - and she'll get a nice ride in a small truck.

Do these DemoMarxists realize they are turning public opinion hugely against them? Standing with animals who behead babies tends to do that. Joe is going to have to print up a hell of a lot more fake ballots next election.

So the the superintendent of Revere Public Schools is conducting an investigation of anti-Jewish graffiti on school grounds and when they find the person or persons responsible they’ll get the appropriate extra credits noted on their quarterly grades.

Groomers. They sexually groom. They groom future terrorists. Never let your children anywhere close to a person with an Ed degree. Homeschool if possible. Make the sacrifice to homeschool. It will be the most rewarding thing you ever do.

Revere.

The town just North of Boston, named for a famous American patriot and Revolutionary War hero?

It is now a haven for Muslim refugees.

Massachusetts...the same state that imported slaves, sold them to the South and then said it was morally wrong for Southerners to own slaves. The same state that said secession was ok for them during the War of 1812 but said it was wrong in 1861. If there is to be trouble within the US, it starts with Massachusetts.
