Sign Petition: Anti-Semitic Massachusetts Teachers Association Must Be Held Accountable
Sign a petition to force the Massachusetts state legislature to cut ties with its anti-Semitic teachers’ union
For more than a decade, the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) has verifiably encouraged defamation of Israel and the Jewish people in state public schools.
APT spent eight years (2011 – 2019) fighting MTA-approved curriculum in Newton, Massachusetts, in which children (many of them Jewish) were taught certifiable lies about Israel and Islamic history. Some of the curriculum was of Saudi and Qatari origin, but the school committee — and teachers’ union — stonewalled concerned citizens and refused to openly discuss anything.
Since then, the MTA — when its members are not on strike — has provably continued with its anti-Israel bias, as documented in a recent AJC report. Some actions included hosting a workshop on “anti-Palestinian racism” and distributing vulgar, overtly anti-Semitic flyers (below) as educational “resources.”
Max Page, the union’s long-time boss, has denied any abuse of his office or support for anti-Semitism, though his answers at a recent hearing at the Massachusetts State House leave much to be desired.
On account of this vile conduct, the Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN) has created a petition demanding that the state government sever all ties with the MTA in the event Page is not replaced, and if the union does not completely reverse all of its anti-Jewish policies.
Please sign the petition here.
