Teachers smuggle in pro-Palestinian lessons despite official curriculum saying nothing about Palestine
The School District of Philadelphia's social studies curriculum contains no mention of Israel, a Palestinian state, or even the broader Middle East, but this hasn’t stopped a cohort of local educational professionals from inserting the topic into classrooms anyway.
In June, the Free Press obtained a copy of Philadelphia’s history and social studies curriculum. While the document contained reams of left-wing content, such as an assignment asking students to “replace” the national anthem after “critically examining race and racism,” mentions of the Palestinian conflict were conspicuously absent.
A dedicated group of local educators, however, who have expressed the occasional necessity to teach Palestinian issues “under the radar,” have successfully integrated large amounts of pro-Palestinian material, sometimes with radical streaks, into individual classrooms.
Two primary local organizations have been responsible for this: the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and its subgroup, Philly Educators for Palestine. The groups claim to have over 200 members encompassing students, educators, parents, and “community stakeholders.”
