Abstract: The article discusses the cancellation of a special issue on Education and Palestine by Harvard Educational Review, which was initially set for publication in 2025. The authors, a group of scholars committed to social justice, reflect on the implications of this cancellation, viewing it as part of a broader pattern of suppressing critical discourse on Palestine and Israeli policies. They argue that this act contributes to "scholasticide," or the systematic destruction of educational discourse, and highlights the challenges faced by educators and activists advocating for Palestinian rights. The authors emphasize the importance of counter-narratives in education and the need for solidarity in the face of institutional repression. [Extracted from the article]
