| Abstract: |
The article discusses the targeting of anti-racist educators in Philadelphia who oppose Israel's actions in Gaza and support Palestinians. Educators like Hannah Gann, Shaw MacQueen, Keziah Ridgeway, and others have faced repression and disciplinary actions for their advocacy. The educators have organized groups like the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and Philly Educators for Palestine to support their cause and resist the attacks. The situation reflects a broader trend of right-wing campaigns targeting educators nationwide, aiming to privatize public schools and suppress teaching about racism and social justice.
