Sick: LA Charter School Teachers Removed After Teaching 1st Graders About ‘Genocide in Palestine’ at School Housed in Synagogue
Two teachers at the Citizens of the World Charter School-East Valley, located at the Adat Ari El synagogue in the Los Angeles area, have been removed after a lesson teaching first graders about “genocide in Palestine.”
At a press conference on Friday, the synagogue’s Senior Rabbi, Brian Schuldenfrei, told reporters that “some teachers” at the school reached out after Israeli flags appeared following the Hamas terrorist attacks against civilians on Oct. 7.
The charter school’s principal, Hye-Won Gehring, emailed Schuldenrei asking, “I know that this is a time to hold your community close, and perhaps the flags are intended for that – but do you know how long they will be up?”
Schuldenfrei expressed that he found the email offensive,
