Oakland Unified School District boasts about its focus:
Focused on high academic achievement while serving the whole child, eliminating inequity, and providing each child with excellent teachers, every day.
Based on the adage that actions speak louder than words, this despicably woke school district forgot to add “Jews not included.” It is also as crafty as it is abhorrent for the teach-in to bring Jesus into the picture. As stated by a Jewish child’s parents: “There were lesson plans being taught that said, ‘draw the Zionist bully’ or ‘I is for Intifada, J is for Jesus.”‘ Revered Leftist Christians have attempted to corrupt Christians, and too many have readily gone along.
“Thirty Jewish families transfer out of Oakland public school district after Pro-Palestine teachers proposed ‘draw the Zionist bully’ kids activity during anti-Israel ‘teach-in,’” by Germania Rodriguez Poleo, Daily Mail, January 18, 2024:
At least 30 Jewish families have transferred out of the Oakland Unified School District over fears of anti-Semitism during the Hamas-Israel war.
Jewish families in the Bay Area progressive enclave felt targeted by one of the Oakland teachers’ union and the district at large after educators held a ‘teach-in’ that focused on pro-Palestine lessons.
Parents Rebecca and Isaac, who chose not to give their last names, told CBS News they made the decision to move their six-year-old out of the school district after what they saw as signs of anti-Semitism.
‘There were lesson plans being taught that said, “draw the Zionist bully’ or “I is for Intifada, J is for Jesus.”‘ Rebecca noted of the teaching materials featured in the ‘From Gaza to Oakland’ teach-in. ‘And to me, it felt like – honestly – we were being targeted and singled out and alienated.’
While the event was not officially sanctioned by the district, Rebecca said she did not want to take the risk of an educator with anti-Jewish views targeting her son.

Start early, corrupt the brains of children and turn them into good little servants of allah or obedient slaves to their future mudslime masters.
Then Islam can have all the useful idiots it wants by the time they get to university.

Yet another piece of propaganda which seeks to conflate anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism. More and more fine upstanding Jewish people all over the world are joining the condemnation of IDF atrocities that have left so many babies and children dead beneath the rubble of Gaza.They know the difference between Judaism and colonialist, ethnic-cleansing Zionism. What sickens me is that the authors of your piece know it too. They are disingenuous; yes. But they are also fools for thinking anyone with any common sense can be taken in.

A good 90% of Jews consider themselves zionist, the rest being useful idiots just trying to fit in and Neturei Karta some fringe ultra orthodox bag of nut jobs.
As for dead gazan babies, best you first ask Hamas to return the hostages and surrender, or just stop using them as human shields, also those rockets they are firing at Israeli citizen often fall short accounting for a large number of deaths, 500 at one hospital I hear.
You’re in the minority with your thinking, and no one here doubts for a second, telling Jews not to defend themselves, is anti-semitism.

If I lived in the Oakland school district I hope that I would have the courage to do the same AS WLL AS do the best I can to argue against such teachings. This is supposed to be America not Nazi Germany or Hamas Gaza.
