SFUSD educators remain divided on definition of antisemitism, attend varying workshops

San Fran is a radical, failed government school district.  Students are fleeing, the test scores are below par.  Worse, they are debating “what is antisemitism”.

“Educators at San Francisco Unified remain split over whether anti-Zionism falls under the banner of antisemitism — and took various approaches to a district training last week, KQED reported

Dozens refused to attend a training led by a pro-Israel group and decided to partake in an alternative, they debate “whatworkshop from an anti-racism institute. 

“It sounds like the training they received compared to the alternate training that the rest of us received was very polar opposite,” Marloes Sijstermans, a math teacher who participated in the alternative training, told KQED. 

Hint:  Hating Jews or Israel is antisemitism.  Wanting Jews, worldwide killed, is antisemitism.  No need for a debate, just the facts.  The sad fact is that San Fran schools, like many colleges, universities and other government schools are filled with teachers and professors that town the Hamas/Nazi hate line.

Dozens refused to attend a training led by a pro-Israel group and decided to partake in an alternative , they debate “what workshop from an anti-racism institute. 

“It sounds like the training they received compared to the alternate training that the rest of us received was very polar opposite,” Marloes Sijstermans, a math teacher who participated in the alternative training, told KQED. 

Weeks ago, teachers started voicing concerns about trainings from the American Jewish Committee because of its long-term support for Israel. And the first training had been canceled and postponed as a result. 

The district claimed that the organization’s workshop would not take a stance on the Israel-Hamas war. But some teachers remained concerned that the workshop would be biased and, with the support of the union, scheduled an alternative run by PARCEO. They were also supported by the group Jewish Voice for Peace, according to KQED. 

About a third of the staff at Galileo Academy of Science & Technology attended the alternative training, and roughly half did not attend either session, KQED reported.
