Education Dept. Launches Inquiry Into NYC Schools Over Pro-Palestinian Teachers Group

The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has opened an investigation into the New York public school system in regard to a pro-Palestine teachers’ group, the DOE announced on April 23.

The DOE’s Office of Civil Rights received complaints that NYC Educators for Palestine allegedly “teach children as young as 5 about ‘contemporary and historical Palestinian resistance,’ that Zionists are ‘genocidal white supremacists,’ and to support the federally designated terrorist organization Hamas and its ’martyrs.’”
