Brickbat: Teach the Children


It took a year and a court battle, but New York's Ithaca City School District finally released video of pro-Palestinian activists getting third-graders to repeat anti-Israel sentiments and urging the students to become freedom fighters for Palestine. Officials say the presentation was meant to teach the students about human rights.

Teach the children, indeed. Teach them about early 70's poet pop from Cleveland. It's the Raspberries: https://youtu.be/uSPs-MrGsAw
Mmm, mmm, mmm,
Barack Hussein Obama!
Yep, noting legitimizes indoctrination like official approval.
^this. "Oh that's officially approved curriculum? I guess there's nothing we can complain about then."
Somehow, this seems appropriate.
Should Israel stay? Or should they go now?
There will be trouble either way.
White Riot would have worked as well.
"You all defend us, you can do a lot for [us], and be the freedom fighters for Palestine."
Look, all the teacher is trying to do is indoctrinate your children with hatred for a particular ethnic and religious group. I mean, hyperbolic vitriol towards Jewish people never caused them or anybody else any harm so what's the big deal?
This is why we must oppose president elect Literal Hitler. I hear he hates Jews.
So some of his kids are the result of grudge fucking? That monster!
I married outside my race so I can oppress from the comfort of my home.
That is truly diabolical!
Start spreading the news...
FAKE! Nooze!
Bring a roomy overcoat and a bus pass, kid.
"Eight-year-olds, Dude."
2017 is going to suck soooo bad...
It already does. What? Trump's not bombing foreign countries yet?
Yes he is. I read it in Salon.
Obvious fake comment - at Salon they do not read.
Too lazy to read article. Why did they make a video if they weren't going to "release" it? Was it to just play in the teachers' lounge?
Sometimes I feel like no one ever respects UN resolutions - - - - -
unless they're wearing blue helmuts!
