A public New York City elementary school is being accused of “Jewish erasure” because a map in one of its classrooms showed all of the countries in the Middle East except for Israel — which it labeled as Palestine.
The map, labeled the “Arab World,” appears in a classroom at PS 261 in Brooklyn, where Rita Lahoud gives students lessons in the Arab Culture Arts program — which is funded by Qatar Foundation International, the American wing of the Qatar Foundation, a nonprofit owned by the country’s wealthy ruling family.
It was manufactured by Arab education company Ruman and features Islamic landmarks in each of the countries in northern Africa and the Middle East.
At the school, the map is posted under the heading “Arab World” with hand-drawn labels marking each country, except for Israel which Lahoud labeled “Palestine.”
“It’s not just that we’re experiencing Jewish hate in NYC public schools, we’re actually experiencing Jewish erasure,” Tova Plaut, a New York City public school instructional coordinator for preschool through fifth grade,
... We’re giving children misinformation,” she continued, calling the map an “example of how you embed implicit bias into children.
“What it does is it creates this inner instinctive knowledge that they internalize that this land belongs to the Arab world; that it does not belong to anyone else

The illegals are “erasing” the public schools from Brooklyn.

how is that legal?
Shows you whose side the muslim/arabs are on.....as if we didn’t know.
Well, NYC (like a few other large cities) is quickly erasing itself from the US.
Palestine is a fraudulent name. The name of the province of Judea was changed to Palestina by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the second century of the common era to punish the Jews for revolting. The name was a deliberate insult as it was derived from Philistine, Israel’s ancient, extinct enemy.
What have the liberal Jewish teacher to say about this......Crickets
Raghead fantasy map replaces reality in NY schools
Fixed it
“common era” and promulgating it is likewise revisionist.
So is BC and AD. Would you prefer the Hebrew calendar?
I prefer WesternCiv tradition
So you don’t like the way Jews do it.
What part of WesternCiv tradition don’t you understand?
I resent the deconstructionism and oppose those who go along.
I prefer American tradition,
Resent to your heart’s content.
American tradition is BC/AD, look it up
American tradition is freedom of religion. My religion does not recognize the “C” and the “D.” In BC and AD.
So you admit that your basis is JudeoChristian animus.
Regardless, American tradition IS BC/AD and your puny efforts will never change it, too bad so sad.
I admit that you believe that your lord was born 2300 years ago. Mine’s been here a lot longer.
Oops. 2023 years ago.
