California organizers defend pro-Palestinian 'teach-in' from criticism of its 'anti-Israel propaganda'
Teachers in Oakland, California, held a pro-Palestinian “teach-in” event on Wednesday, asking elementary school children to draw what they think a Zionist leader looks like and to define a massacre.
Oakland Unified School District Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell warned teachers who planned to hold the unauthorized event, saying the curriculum did not align with the district's educational protocol. Despite the warning, about 100 educators participated in teaching the unauthorized material to students ages 4 to 18, the East Bay Times reported.
According to a review of the curriculum by Fox News Digital, the “teaching materials” were listed as “lessons for kindergarten through 12th graders, art lessons, math lessons, films to show and ways to highlight Palestinian joy.”
