Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson Headlining Event Featuring Educators Who Backed the October 7 Massacre
The entire conference schedule and workshops made me roll my eyes.
On Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will give the “keynote address at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) convention.”
The speakers include anti-Israel activists who justified Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023: Sawsan Jaber and Hannah Moushabeck.
The organization represents K-12 to college English language arts and literacy educators.
The Daily Wire’s Kassy Akiva noted that NCTE “adopted a 2017 vision calling on members to ‘apply the power of language and literacy to actively pursue justice and equity.'”
It’s a woke convention because of course it is.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t access more information about the workshops I clicked on.
Jaber and Moushabeck hit the stage on Friday for the workshop “Let’s Talk about Palestine: Voices, Experiences, and Education for Liberation.”
I wish I could access more information about the workshop.
Hannah Moushabeck
Moushabeck is the speaker. She is a Palestinian American who authored Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine. The book’s description:
A father and his daughters may not be able to return home . . . but they can celebrate stories of their homeland!
As bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father who tells them stories of a faraway homeland—Palestine. Through their father’s memories, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the diaspora feel love for a place they have never been, a home they cannot visit. But, as their father’s story comes to an end, they know that through his memories, they will always return.
A Palestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book debut by Hannah Moushabeck. With heartfelt illustrations by Reem Madooh, this story is a love letter to home, to family, and to the persisting hope of people that transcends borders.
Her Instagram is all about Palestine, abolishing the police, hate for Israel, and resistance.
On October 7, 2023:
“When you reframe what’s happening, you understand why people would retaliate, why people would resist,” she stated. “We’ve seen this in history before we’ve seen this happen here on this very land when settlers took over.”

Moushabeck claimed anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism. Another post said, “Friends don’t let friends support Israel.” She wanted you to fight her if you disagreed that “Zionism is racism.”
Of course, Queers for Palestine!
Apparently, NCTE in 2023 tried to force people to remain neutral. Moushabeck bragged how teachers “still spoke about Palestine on our panels because we will NOT BE SILENCED in the face of genocide.”
Sawsan Jaber
Oh look. Sawson Jaber is in the Chicago area. What a shock. She’s the English Department Chair at Maine West High School in Park Ridge, IL, and an educational consultant for Google.
On October 11, Jabar posted on X, “But we cannot fault Palestinians, especially Gazans living in a modern day concentration camp for over a decade, for fighting for their humanity. That doesn’t make them terrorists. It makes them human.”
Jabar’s X account is littered with anti-Israel sentiments.
I would pull my children out of this school. In February, students led a panel about the supposed genocide against Palestinians.
All of them wore a keffiyeh.
Students at @Maine_207 hosting a teach in panel for administrators, and they were phenomenal to say the least!!!! No voice more important than student voice! pic.twitter.com/mxyzGpu2iA

I’m not shocked that she spoke at an anti-Israel protest in Chicago.
Jabar spoke at the what she called the “ISTE MainStage.” ISTE is an organization that helps “educators use technology to revolutionize learning.”
25,000 people strong. I thought my biggest speaking audience would be the @ISTEofficial MainStage w/ 22,000 people.Yesterday, I spoke to 25,000+ for a #FreePalestine. I wish I wasn’t trying to convince people of our humanity. My heart hurts😔. So hard to be a Palestinian American pic.twitter.com/lQPUNZjDaK

Not only can she not identify what a woman is, she apparently can’t identify terrorists, either.
Meeting all expectations for a DEI hire. Worthless.
You expected good judgment from an AA appointee?
We have an excellent judge on the SC – Thomas
I think you forgot
He wasn’t an AA appointee. Unless you mean African American and not Affirmative Action.
Ketanji Brown-Jackson will give the keynote address to teachers of English. How is that possible? She’s not a grammarian, lexicographer, philologist, glottologist nor linguistician. Maybe she will elucidate the finer points of ebonics.
Nor is she a legal scholar.
She should be impeached.
It would appear J. Jackson’s lack of judgement and deliberate “political offense” against the “good Behaviour” standard of Article. III. of the Constitution and the People would be sufficient grounds for impeachment.
From: The Original Meaning of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” Part I (https://lawliberty.org/the-original-meaning-of-high-crimes-and-misdemeanors-part-1/)
“Here’s the key point in summary: the evidence of original meaning overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that, at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, the composite term “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” was a well-established, familiar legal term of art that the framers consciously borrowed from longstanding English practice and usage dating back four centuries. That meaning was not so much “vague” as simply broad: a sweeping delegation of power and responsibility to the legislative bodies entrusted with the impeachment power. The term “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” had a broad meaning in English practice and in the American understanding, confiding to the two houses of the national legislature (under the U.S. Constitution, the House and the Senate, exercising their respective roles in the impeachment process) a sweeping range of power to punish what those political bodies determined to be misconduct or abuse of power by executive and judicial officers of a wide variety of types.” (sixth para.)
“… the range of usage and practice – what was considered to lie within the scope of the power of impeachment for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” – was unquestionably broad. That range plainly embraced “political” offenses: offenses against the constitution, laws, system of government, prerogatives of other institutions, or the rights and liberties of the people – …” (excerpt of 11th para.)
But, will a Republican controlled Congress have the integrity to do their job and “impeach” and remove from office J. Jackson ?
.” She wanted you to fight her if you disagreed that “Zionism is racism.”
You reeeeeeally don’t want that. LOL
Says the big furry alien with anger issues. 😉
I’m so tired of this crap.
The entire creation of a “Palestinian” identity and an alleged nation of “Palestine” is an evil, obnoxious and brazen bit of historical revisionism and propaganda. Goebbels would have been proud of how successful this propaganda mythology has become.
I guarantee you that 99.999% of these non-Muslim leftists and Dhimmi-crats agitating on behalf of “Palestine” and “Palestinians” don’t even know the etymology of those words.
The word “Palestine” has no relation to, or, derivation from, Arabic or the ideology of “Submission.” The etymology of “Palestine” is “Palaestina” — itself derived from “Philistine” — which is what the ancient Romans named Judaea, after they had conquered it, as a triumphant insult to the Jews. So, “Palaestina”/”Palestine” is an indirect reference to Jews. Muslims and their supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent and hate-filled ideology of “Submission” didn’t even exist at the time that the word “Palaestina” was coined.
If there are any “Palestinians” in existence, today, they are fairly characterized as the Israeli Jews whose forebears lived in Judaea millennia ago; not the Arab Fakestinians, who are descended from Arab invaders from Arabia.
Fun fact: So-called “Palestinians” can’t even pronounce the word. They say “Balestine” instead. When the British adopted that name for the territory, they rendered it into Arabic as Filastin with an F.
Milhouse – here’s a place where your research and investigative skills could be of use – would her actions reach approach an impeachable offense? I would say, from a layman’s uninformed view, No. While an embarrassment and a shame to the decorum of the court, I couldn’t see where her foolish and offensive decision to appear would not be within the rights of any citizen, and I can’t see where being on the Court would remove that. It’s not an action directed against the United States. Is it against the interests of a civilized humanity? Yes, but that’s not relevant here.
Do I trust her judgement? Hell no. Do I like her doing this? Hell no.
Can she be removed for it? Nah.
I agree that merely speaking at a standard run-of-the mill teachers’ conference doesn’t come even close to “bad conduct”. She may not even have been aware of the two teachers featured in this post, and their activities at the conference. She certainly hasn’t endorsed them.
“..A homeland she can never visit” (sic)
Why? Get on a friggen plane and go there. You see, unlike other countries, in America you can just travel if you want.
Her alleged “homeland” isn’t in America. And with her background, Israel is unlikely to give her a visa.
She could easily get there, I’m betting. If she really wanted to. Which she doesn’t. She would prefer to screech out her hatred at Jews and Israelis where TPTB protect her vile utterances, and where she can be a lot more well-to-do than any non-lethal job in Gaza.
I want ALL the so
Called Palestinians out of OUR country, it’s not their country
We were formed on a Judeo/ Christian foundation
Nothing to do with Muslims
The Founding Fathers and educated men since have known Mohammed
“declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE [capitals in original].” [excerpt from The American Annual Register for 1827–1829 (New York, 1830); images of this print book are available online]
https://www.thesocialcontract.com/artman2/publish/tsc_21_1/tsc_21_1_candid_observations_islam.shtml
Nonetheless those same people decided and proclaimed that the USA was not to be a country associated with any particular religion, and explicitly said that Islam was to have the exact same status as Christianity here.
Milhouse,
You are Wrong. [As your brother, Gomer would say: “Surprise. Surprise. Surprise !”]
The “establishment clause” intended there would be no “religion” that was the “official religion”; thus the “government” needed no validation from an ecclesiastical institution.
Yet, the founders were all (even the atheists) of a Judaeo-Christian background (though many claimed to be deists). The quote and reference clearly addresses that Islam is not a “religion” as consistent with Judaeo-Christian beliefs or ministerial hierarchy. …
And, in fact the Founders recognized that Islam is “tyrannical” (a theocracy: simultaneously both religion and government); precisely why the Founders put in place the “establishment clause”.
Now, before you “fire” back, name one non-communist government, society, culture which is / was not so structured that “government” authorized the “state religion” and the “state religion” validated the “government” [hint: even ancient tribal societies had their “shaman”].
Separately, please provide (with appropriate citation) the statutory, or case law, definition of “religion” applicable to the US Constitution. …
If you cannot find such a definition applicable to the US Constitution, then provide one (you know that you are of above average intellect with vast knowledge) which does not explicitly and / or implicitly define “government” as is our current US federal government.
Sisu, you know nothing of the founders’ writings on the subject. They repeatedly and explicitly acknowledged that Islam is a religion, that it is included in the free exercise of religion, and that the ban on an established church means that the USA is no more Christian than it is Moslem.
“Sisu, you know nothing of the founders’ writings on the subject. They repeatedly and explicitly acknowledged that Islam is a religion, ”
Then provide a cite or shut the hell up.

Joe Arpaio ran an “open air prison” for years. I fully expect our new Maricopa County sheriff Jerry Sheridan (first Republican since Joe and served under Joe) to re-open one, because it was economical and it actually worked.
I’d love to have Hannah Moushabeck assigned to help run the place hands-on, so she can get some first-hand experience of how sympathetic a bunch of people are just because they live in an open-air prison where the other side has all the power.
Is that Liz Warren on the left? Doesn’t look like her, but who else would be wearing terrorist war paint?
It’s her less-evil twin.
C’mon man. She was just a little hung over when she put on her makeup.
I wish I wasn’t trying to convince people of our humanity.
So do I. Because it’s a lie, except in the most basic Christian sense. You’re an evil monster, wanting to destroy Israel.
My heart hurts😔.
Wish it hurt a lot more.
So hard to be a Palestinian American
No, really, it isn’t. You just live your life accepting others and seeing the truth. You make it much harder on yourself when you put on blinders and then cover your eyes with lies.
I really do loathe these people, because the vast number of them are stupid followers and haven’t ever used more brain cells for critical thinking than it takes to decide “Should I have steak or fish for dinner?”
It’s not right to loathe them so (by my principles). But they are so willfully blind to the truth, I struggle to treat them as sinners in need of repentance. /sigh/
I pray that God will destroy their ability to do evil. And mine too.
My favorite lie was when the Muslim leader said that Palestinians had been living in a Gaza concentration camp for years. Israel left Gaza in 2005 and they have had self-rule since. It is Hamas that is to blame, not Israel.
“Zionism is racism” is reheated Soviet cold war propaganda.
Collins, Murkowski, and Romney all voted to confirm Brown Jackson.
https://ballotpedia.org/Ketanji_Brown_Jackson_confirmation_hearings_and_votes
Unfortunately that vote is all too typical of the GOP. No matter how bad the nominee or legislation is, the Communists regularly find several Republicans to vote for it.
And this POS is sitting on our highest court?
I thought t him a tree schools have a morals clause in their teacher’s contracts. Someone who declares themselves to be a Nazi would be fired. The same should hold for teachers who support the mass merger of Jews.
Does anyone have a list of the Nazi teachers who attended this conference? We could sue the school districts and colleges where they work to enforce the moral clause in their contracts.
