The Massachusetts Teachers Association continues to face heat for its “antisemitic list of resources” that were highlighted during a recent State House hearing, including a poster of dollar bills folded into a Star of David.
Groups and elected officials are calling for the teachers union’s leaders to pull the plug on these “vile antisemitic” educational resources after MTA President Max Page was grilled during last week’s meeting of the Massachusetts Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism.
The hearing focused on curriculum development in local K-12 schools and included testimony from Page, who was peppered with questions about MTA’s optional educational sources on the Israel-Hamas war.
These “Resources on Israel and Occupied Palestine” for MTA members include posters that glorify violence against Israelis, depict Israelis as snakes, and show a Star of David made out of dollar bills. The materials also feature a children’s workbook that calls Zionists “bullies.”
