Before scrubbing his socials, Chief Sealth High School social studies dept chair & Ethnic Studies World History teacher Ian Golash celebrated mass murderer Yasser Arafat chairman of the PLO
Hate isn't a bug in public schools, it's a feature
Golash had multiple posts supporting the Oct 7 massacre, rape, torture & murder of over 1,200 Israelis, and the kidnapping of over 200 more
This behavior is celebrated & rewarded in Washington's academia
Golash is paid a 6 figure salary with taxpayer $ to push his hate in the classroom which includes hanging up posters of terrorists
He is also celebrated by known antisemitic teacher support and curriculum development groups like Washington Ethnic Studies Now @waethnicstudies
The radical group which has previously posted blogs claiming Jews benefit from "white privilege" trained Golash and endorsed him in his run for positions in a union that recently passed a pro-Hamas resolution
Washington Ethnic Studies Now is peddling curriculums across the US that teach students as young as 5 that if they are white and/or live in America they are "oppressors"
Tracy Castro Gill founder of WAESN filed a restraining order to stop her radical curriculums from going public & worked as the Ethnic Studies Manager for SPS until the superintendent removed her from the position due to "unprofessional behavior"
OSPI: "When it became clear to us in recent years that WAESN was not just an education-focused organization, but also a political one -- and that they had used their platform to make disparaging comments about others -- we took action to remove their materials from our website"
Castro Gill ran a 3 part series about Jewishness & Ethnic studies attempting to prove that Jews benefit from "white privilege." Topics included "The Jewish Question" a phrase popularized by Adolf H*tler & evolved into the genocide of the Jews
In the third part of the series, Castro-Gill claimed I, an orthodox Jew, who wears a yarmulka and whose family was murdered in the Holocaust, "is complicit with Whiteness, because he is refusing to acknowledge his white privilege."
Castro Gill also accuses me of being complicit in “trying to undermine learning opportunities for students of color" for exposing programs that are used the WESN curriculum and for sharing the social media posts of Hamas supporters
She added "the only way I might know he’s Jewish is his last name." Ari is a Jewish name meaning lion & Hoffman is a common last name. She claimed "Zionists" "want to silence folks of color to satisfy their own sense of safety at the expense of the safety of folks of color"
In addition to Golash, Castro Gill also trained Jesse Hagopian a known antisemite who claimed any black voice supporting Israel is “blackwashing” [is] taking its place w/“pinkwashing”&“greenwashing... to obscure the bloody reality of Israeli occupation.”
.@SeaPubSchools knows their radicalism is a liability with parents. That's why they're scrubbing Golash from their website and issue bland statements hoping the media fervor will die down
Keep the pressure up to demand they remove this racist ideology
Jonathan Choe @choeshow obtained video and court docs of the incident.
Bellevue Police were called to Tillicum Middle School last month after parents reported a tall female wearing a hijab causing a disturbance in the drop-off area.
A parent and her sons were holding signs advocating to stop the closure of the school when Gardheere allegedly grabbed the sign from one of the children while screaming “Free Palestine” & "Black Lives Matter”
She walked off to confront a man in his car dropping off his kids.
Golash wrote regarding the Oct 7 rape and massacre of Israelis
"Hamas didn't behead anyone.
Hamas didn't rape anyone.
The bodies found charred beyond recognition were made that way either by Israeli tanks, missiles or helicopter gunships... Hamas soldiers were not carrying weapons that could do that kind of damage to human bodies... A body looks very different once it's been vaporized by a Hellfire missile or an explosive tank round as opposed to being set on fire with, say gasoline, for example.
Israel, operating under the Hannibal Directive, chose to obliterate Israeli civilians, including at least one child, in their efforts to kill Hamas militants.
I'm just trying to get it straight for myself... I don't know how into the weeds y'all are on this... also, f*ck Hamas, f*ck Israel, I'm a communist.
đź§µPro Hamas activists calling for the eradication of Israel and the genocide of all Jews and Christians in Israel targeted the @UW Menorah lighting on the 1st night of Hannukah
They took over the office of the school president and projected Hamas demands on the side of the administration building
They chanted in English and Arabic for the genocide of Jews and Christians living in Israel and an end to the Jewish state
đź§µBREAKING: Pro-Hamas activists are currently occupying the office of @UW president Ana Marie Cauce
This is organized by SUPER UW the same group behind other pro Hamas rallies on campus that chanted for the genocide of Jews and had vigils for terrorists
This comes on the same day as the Jewish Studies department accused Cauce of discouraging the dept. "from holding public events based on the notion that this would provoke conflict on campus"
From UW Reddit: "why. people are literally taking their finals. i had to listen to ppl chant and scream during the entirety of my 2 hour exam. do ppl forget it’s a college campus?? can we please not protest RIGHT OUTSIDE lecture halls?? is red square not good enough??"
Following last week's walkouts from class to support Hamas, this antisemitic and factually false material is being distributed in @IssaquahSchools
According to sources at the school, the administration and district have done nothing about it
As always, the group behind this is a radical far-left socialist/Marxist group on campus. However, this material matches templates used in other schools indicating a bigger organization is behind it
Organizations such as @CAIRNational @CAIRWashington are behind a lot of antisemitic and pro-Hamas propaganda materials that are being distributed on college & high school campuses
This is a screenshot of one slide from a deck that was taught in the district
