Teachers Union in Massachusetts Taps Anti-Israel Activist to Create Curriculum About Israel
“commitment to transforming classrooms into arenas of radicalism”
Even teachers are blowing the whistle on this. That’s how bad it is.
The Daily Wire reports:
‘Turning Classrooms Into Arenas Of Radicalism’: Teachers Union Tasks Anti-Israel Activist To Create Curriculum About Israel
A group of educators is sounding the alarm after its union tasked an activist who holds openly anti-Israel views with developing a new curriculum on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Director of Training & Professional Learning for the Massachusetts Teachers Association, Ricardo Rosa, has a record of disseminating anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric. He referred to the United States as a “settler colony,” glorified Leila Khaled, a terrorist who hijacked a plane, supported a professor who labeled Zionists “swine,” encouraged protests in Jewish neighborhoods, and advocated for a “Free Palestine” in the immediate days after the October 7 massacre by Hamas on civilians in southern Israel.
The MTA, representing 117,000 teachers and faculty members at public schools and universities, has come under fire for its response to the October 7 massacre. In December, its board of directors voted in favor of a statement condemning the United States as complicit in the “genocidal assault” in Gaza. The vote also approved the Training and Professional Learning Division, run by Rosa, to develop “a framework for discussing and set of curriculum resources for learning about the history and current events in Israel and Occupied Palestine, for MTA members to use with each other and their students.”
Several union members from across Massachusetts tell The Daily Wire that Rosa’s views would infect any curriculum on Israel and demanded that the MTA halt its development.
Jany Finkielsztein, a former instructional coach for the Waltham public schools who retired last year, said Rosa’s social media posts about the United States and Israel reveal his “commitment to transforming classrooms into arenas of radicalism.”

NEW BEDFORD — “Teachers are MCs,” says New Bedford resident, longtime educator and hip-hop head Dr. Ricardo Rosa. “An MC is supposed to move the crowd.”
Whether at the front of a classroom, at the mic at a public forum or out on a city sidewalk leading a protest, it’s through this lens that the 2022 Black Excellence on the Hill award winner views his activities. “As educators, we have a responsibility not only to educate in the classroom but to open up spaces of education in the community as well,” Rosa told The Standard-Times.
It’s this mindset that caught the attention of Rep. António F. D. Cabral, D-New Bedford, who nominated Rosa for the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus’ Black Excellence award. A press release from Cabral’s office on the recognition points to Rosa’s work with New Bedford Coalition to Save Our Schools — the grassroots organization he co-founded focusing on social justice and equity issues relative to local public education. “… the NBCSOS has been very effective in organizing the community, protecting public resources, and advocating for responsive and quality public schools,” the release reads.

now contrast these tow:
Until recently, Finland has been mainly an ethnically homogeneous country, with native Finns being the dominant ethnic group. However, with increased immigration, the country is slowly becoming more ethnically diverse.
andddd
Rosa who uses Finland as an example of a great school system ( yet obvious not talking about the “diverse” growth from non acclimating migrants)::::::
“If you look at the school system in Finland, which has the highest performing schools in the world by some metrics, there are no charter schools. Everyone is an investor in the public school system.”
correct:
these two
Other areas of focus for the NBCSOS Rosa noted include standing against police presence in city schools and pushing for increased emphasis on adjustment counseling.
“We know police being present in schools means higher suspension rates, we know kids of color are getting suspended disproportionately at higher rates, and we know — as research tells us — this creates and reinforces conditions where kids are more likely to drop out,” he said. “The way to handle disciplinary issues is by creating strong social-emotional supports.”
