Dozens of Oakland public school teachers took part in a pro-Palestine teach-in on Wednesday despite a warning from the district that the curriculum was not approved.
The "From Gaza to Oakland" teach-in was organized by several members of the Oakland Education Association, who said it was a chance to expose students to diverse viewpoints and teach them about the human tragedy in Gaza.
"As a Jewish teacher, this is a very important issue for me," said organizer and substitute teacher Judy Greenspan. "We feel that OUSD has been very one-sided and has leaned very heavily on the Israeli educational lobby."
The organizers developed extensive lessons and curriculum for all grade levels that celebrates Palestinian culture but also pushes content from Palestine advocacy groups.
Greenspan said roughly 100 teachers took part and a virtual panel discussion was played in several middle school classrooms Wednesday afternoon, so students could "look at all sides of the issue."
The webinar leads off with a video of Bay Area protests against the war in Gaza, including protesters carrying a "genocide" banner, followed by several conversations with pro-Palestinian activists.
One activist, who went by Violette, said Israeli militia displaced her Palestinian grandmother in 1948 when the state of Israel was founded.

That’s your job!
Not politics in schools!
Typical leftist drivel - spreading propaganda when they clearly don’t know the truth themselves.

Oy, another self-hating yutz.
So disgusting. Now it becomes obvious where the students get their twisted brainwashing. All of these indoctrinators should be fired. Maybe North Korea could use such people.
Fire the ‘100’ teachers.
Well there ya go.

On the one hand you have the baby in the oven, and on the other hand . . .
These people support people and policies that are completely antithetical to what they proport to believe in. There’ll be no rainbow flats in “Palestine”, they throw gays off buildings, subjugate women, would never allow abortions, and teach their children to hate. Hate has a home in the Muslim world. So why, would “bleeding heart liberals” support this?
My only conclusion is they hate Christianity/Judeo-Christians so bad, that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Fire them all. That’s not an approved curriculum and the activists did nothing more than push propaganda and indoctrinated the students.
Nope. The Norks would deem them as too radical.
OUSD is the most corrupt, radical, ineffective and racist (the civil grand jury confirmed) school district in the country....I am sure they also had a hand in losing the A’s...but I can’t find that evidence
Somebody is organizing and paying them to do this.
Damn union biatches have gone full Muzzie Terrorist. They can’t wait until they’re issued their burkas. Even the males.
From baby killing to killing Jews. The far-left is out of control.
“diverse viewpoints”
In their minds, there is exactly one Diverse Viewpoint. All others are forbidden. That’s because Diversity is so diverse.
I have several coworkers that live in Oakland. Each one is an angry radical that inject their politics in everything.
Uh This happened in Oakland California
