Radical teachers enlist local reporter to cover up anti-Semitism in Newton, MA schools.

Newton, MA has an anti-Semitism problem in its public schools. Some Newton HS teachers, trained by Saudi and Qatari-funded curriculum mills, teach Middle East history and Gaza/Israel conflict anti-Semitic ways as defined by the US Dept of Ed/Civil Rights Division
Influenced by anti-Semitic classroom portrayals of the Jewish state, some Newton students have bullied their Jewish classmates with Nazi comparisons; and swastikas have appeared at a couple of schools.
On October 10, Newton North High School teachers staged a protest against Jewish community’s concerns about their teaching. The protest was led by David Bedar and John Fitzgerald, two history teachers who have attended the Qatar-funded anti-Israel teacher trainings exposed by APT
The protestors, among whom were young children and @newton_ps and @NewtonSchoolsFn Superintendent David Fleishman, ignored concerns of the Jewish community, and portrayed the biased teachers, as opposed to Newton’s Jewish students, as the real victims of bullying and harassment
None of the speakers at the rally addressed the substance of the Jewish community’s allegation that Newton teachers had taught anti-Semitic lies given to them as lesson plans at teacher workshops sponsored by the Jew-hating regimes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
None mentioned that the Jewish community might be upset because teachers had handed out falsified primary documents, a Hamas Charter, for example, that erased Hamas’s call for the murder of all the world’s Jews...
... Or a set of PLO propaganda maps with the PLO branding removed so that the students would think the maps were factual. The lesson for Newton students?
The teachers coopted a reporter for the @NewtonMAPatch “hyperlocal news” website,@ReporterJenna , to engage in a slanderous and hateful attack against those representing the Newton Jewish community’s concerns.
The way Ms. Fisher has it in the article, “Jewish community groups including the ADL, JCRC, Israeli-American Congress and CAMERA” aren’t at all interested in “good-faith discussion.” Instead, the Jewish groups are “bullying and harassing” the poor teachers.
Ms. Fisher reserved her most serious libels for APT, and her go-to source for these libels was the MA branch of @CAIRNational. According to the FBI, “CAIR and its founders were part of a group set up by the Muslim Brotherhood to support Hamas,”
Hamas, the organization whose charter calls for the murder of every Jew on the planet.
In 2009, a federal district judge ruled that prosecutors in the largest terrorist fundraising trial in American history have established “at least a prima facie case as to CAIR’s involvement in a conspiracy to support Hamas.”
CAIR has helped raise millions of dollars for Hamas terrorists. It’s not surprising that a MA organization connected to the genocidal Jew-hating terror group Hamas will make false and vicious claims against APT.
Sheikh Ahmed Mansour, an Al Azhar-educated moderate Islamic scholar sits on APT’s board of directors. CAIR’s associates in Egypt tried to have him killed.
APT’s president, Charles Jacobs, was honored by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott, for freeing tens of thousands of black African slaves – many of whom were Muslims – in the 1990s.
With their mindless slurs, Newton’s teachers have taught their students that race-baiting insults are preferable to good arguments in their classrooms.
They and Ms. Fisher have taken a stand in support of biased and hateful teaching, and against the Newton Jewish community’s concerns, while wrapping their intolerance in the mantle of fighting hatred.
