Teachers union faces backlash after sending out email with map omitting Israel
 
The National Education Association (NEA), which represents millions of U.S. educators, sent an email to its approximately 3 million members with a map omitting Israel and labeling the territory as "Palestine."

The email was described as a resource packet for teaching about indigenous peoples, but critics argue it was promoting not recognizing Israel.
 
The North American Values Institute (NAVI) called the inclusion of the map in the NEA email "an inexcusable lapse," arguing the union must be held accountable for disseminating content that rationalizes anti-Israel sentiment.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) also condemned the action, saying it crosses from careless oversight to "a shocking act that denies both history and present reality."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They certainly have the best interest of students at heart, don't they?

By all means, let's congratulate the teachers' union on having done this.

It reveals to us exactly which side they're on.

Just about ALL of 'em.
