Pro-Palestinian teachers are pressing the National Education Association to renounce Biden over Israel
As NEA delegates gather inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Educators for Palestine group will rally outside at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in support of a series of actions it placed on the union’s annual agenda — including proposals that the union educate members about the boycott, divest and sanctions movement, and communicate to members that anti-Zionism is not antisemitic.
Samy El-Baroudi, an Iowa teacher involved with Educators for Palestine, said the group was “not for the destruction of Israel.” Other NEA members, in a statement, explained their reasons for joining Educators for Palestine. ”As a unionist, I want my union to be in solidarity with the rest of the labor movement in advocating for what is best for U.S. safety, security, and well-being. That means money for schools, not war,” said Melissa Tomlinson, an Atlantic County, N.J. teacher.
