A civics teacher in Kiryat Tivon, near Haifa, is on the search for a new job, after a student complained about his slipping leftist ideology into classroom lessons. The teacher, according to the student, tried to convince students to dodge the IDF draft. As a result, the Education Ministry is seeking to fire him.
The student wrote a letter on the matter to Education Minister Shai Piron. Piron called the teacher in for a meeting in the wake of the student's complaint.
The student wrote that she was very confused because of the teacher. “I am supposed to join the army in less than a year, and my teacher is telling me that the army is immoral, and that anyone who joins it is forced to do cruel things,” the letter said, Channel Two reported.
Speaking to Channel Two, the student said that the teacher's comments “made me very angry. I see this as anti-army incitement.”
In addition to railing against the army, the teacher, according to the student, told students that he was a radical leftist, “and according to him the state did not belong to the Jews at all but to the Arabs, and as fast as he was concerned, the Jews had no business being in Israel at all.”

What a brain-dead idiot.

We have those, too. Wait until they have their say on this case.
Academic freedumb (the right to give a student a failing grade for disagreeing with you).
I saw the headline and thought “it’s about time”, then I saw it was in Israel. :~(
I thought this was going to be a man-bites-dog story. Then I realized it happened in another country.
When I just read the headline, I thought, “What State, county, school?”.
Hopefully Darwins’ theory will take out these liberal pukes.
The teacher, said the student, said that he had voted for Hadash, the Israel Communist Party. …The other world-conquering ideology: state atheism.
He must have come from the USA, where our kids frequently get to hear from leftist teachers, without impunity, that we stole this land from the natives, and likewise have no business being here.
Well, those Native Americans were happily hunting buffalo in downtown Chicago among the skyscrapers, when the white man came and took it all from them.
Oh I’m sure... no doubt.
Lots of Israeli academics did graduate study in the West, where they were affected by the idiocy of the Left. Ditto their main media.
Most of the really prestigious universities are in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, so it incubates. Ariel University ought to produce a refreshing new crop of professors.
