California Teacher Union Members Allegedly Pushed Anti-Israel Views on Students After October 7th

“This is yet another data point exposing how the hate we are seeing on college campuses is being taught in K-12 classrooms”

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a very strange overlap between leftist labor people and the anti-Israel crowd.

The Daily Wire reports:

California Teachers Pushed Anti-Israel Views In Classrooms After Oct. 7, Docs Show

California teachers union members pushed their views on the Israel-Hamas war on students, posing questions such as “What does Palestinian freedom mean to you?” and “How are you engaged with the Palestinian freedom struggle?” documents shared with The Daily Wire show.

Documents obtained by Parents Defending Education through a public records request show a sustained effort by California teachers to push anti-Israel views in public schools, particularly after October 7. On October 25, just weeks after Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel, a teacher emailed her students to tell them that she would be speaking before the school board to call “for an end to the invasion and attack on Gaza,” and that “If you’d like to speak out on this important issue you can sign up.”

The following month, Tania Kappner, a teacher and leader of the By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) faction of the National Education Association (NEA), offered extra credit to students who agreed to “use this slide deck to learn more about the current war in Gaza and write a paragraph.” Kappner is a longtime Israel critic who in February communicated with the Revolutionary Community Party, documents show.

“This is yet another data point exposing how the hate we are seeing on college campuses is being taught in K-12 classrooms,” Michele Exner, Senior Advisor at Parents Defending Education, told The Daily Wire. “These radical teachers are using school resources to fuel a disturbing cycle of propaganda and hate that is creating a generation of students filled with antisemitism and anti-America sentiments.”

Kappner is a longtime crusader against Israel, introducing a union resolution in 2021 that said Israel was committing “ethnic cleansing” and calling on the United States to stop “arming and supporting” Israel. Kappner said she was inspired when the longshoremen’s union refused to unload cargo from an Israeli-owned ship in Oakland, which Vice President Kamala Harris considers her hometown.

    Of course they are! But they are also cowards, and therefore weaponize naive children to actually put themselves at risk. This is most blatantly demonstrated by the use of child soldiers in conflicts elsewhere, but they may well shooting for that here too down the road a bit.
