Despite the Boston Marathon jihad bombing, elected officials and school administrations in Massachusetts continue to islamize the public square and the public school. The Boston transit authority ran vicious Islamic antisemitic ads, while refusing our ads highlighting jihad and Islamic Jew-hatred. Our lawsuit continues.
Concerned parents and students have previously voiced concern over Islamic propaganda found in anti-Israel texts in Newton schools including “The Arab World Studies Notebook,” which claims that Israeli soldiers murdered hundreds of Palestinian nurses in Israeli prisons; “A Muslim Primer,” which claims that astronaut Neil Armstrong converted to Islam, but that the anti-Muslim U.S. government warned him “to keep his new religion to himself or he could be fired” from his government job; “Flashpoints: Guide to World History,” which asserts that Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem, is the capital of Israel, and that Jerusalem is the capital of “Palestine”; and other materials. Newton School Superintendent David Fleischman “tried to charge the taxpayers $1,600” for a list of the anti-Israel teaching materials, while Newton School Committee Chair Matt Hills “told staff not to let citizens see the offending materials,” according to the ads.
And despite ongoing protests, these officials have learned nothing, and keep on doubling down and tripling down.

“Jewish Parents Outraged at anti-Semitic All-Day Event at Newton North High: Turmoil at School Board Meeting,” Americans for Peace and Tolerance, June 13, 2018 (thanks to Richard):
Angry parents and citizens dominated the first hour of a scheduled Newton Public School board meeting on Monday night, in an effort to show their disgust and rage at the continued teaching of bias against Israel that has been the focus of controversy in this leafy, heavily Jewish suburb for more than 5 years.
Waving signs of “Fire Fleishman!” and “Replace Goldman!”, around 70 angry citizens protested the mistreatment of the Jewish community by city officials the evening of June 11.
Ruth Goldman, Chair of the Committee, restricted discussion of the controversy to only 7 speakers from among those who came to protest the on-going defamation of Israel and Jews in Newton’s school rooms. More than 15 had signed up to speak.
Charles Jacobs, president of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, reminded the board that Mayor Ruthanne Fuller had promised the Jewish community “transparency” in what is being taught at the schools, but she has not delivered. This, after the school system was forced to remove from its curriculum the Arab World Studies Notebook, which falsely taught students that Jews torture and murder Arab women in Israeli prisons; and after the School Superintendent David Fleishman had promised Jewish community leaders this past October that he would remove the schools’ entire World History section on the Middle East until scholarly, vetted material was found to replace it. Instead, Jacobs said, Fleishman broke that promise and continued to use material that was pro-Arab, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic.
Most of the anger was directed at a May 2 all-day event at Newton North High School called Middle East Day, during which Electronic Intifada proprietor Ali Abunimah’s non-profit group screened several anti-Semitic films for the Newton North students. One film, Ismail, grotesquely aped the opening scene of Schindler’s List, except with actors playing Jewish soldiers as the Nazis, and Palestinians as the Jews. “This blood libel,” said Jacobs, “the ‘Jew-as-Nazi’ lie is the ‘narrative’ that drives Jew-hatred around the world and here you are teaching this to our children.”
That very morning, one very liberal Jewish group — the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) — abandoned its six-year-long denial and “hands-off” posture in this dispute and joined Boston’s ADL to send a harshly-worded letter to Superintendent Fleishman demanding to know precisely what happened on May 2 and what was taught to the student assembly and how it happened.
Tom Mountain, Chairman of the Newton Republican Committee and father of a student in the Newton school system, thundered his disgust at the School Committee’s betrayal of the schools’ Jewish students, and the Jewish community in general. He directly demanded the dismissal of Superintendent Fleishman and asked, rather loudly, what sort of Jew could stonewall efforts to protect teenagers, mostly Jewish, from being taught rabid anti-Jewish propaganda.
Aaron Shneider, a new college graduate and alumnus of the Newton school system himself, railed at the committee, spoke of how the system had betrayed him, and that if everyone wants to speak of “balance,” then pro-Muslim and anti-Israel is hardly “balance” in educational presentation….

Am afraid you’re right. It will take an Electromagnetic Pulse to shut down computers and so forth to get them back to pencil and paper, and to use their heads. Perhaps they will have a second look at islam.

“Why blame Islam?” Because without f’ing muslums and islum:
1. millions of people across the Mid-East and N. Africa would be free of islamic slavery
2. tens of millions of assorted kufar across the muslum world would no longer be subjugated by muslums
3. worldwide islamic terrorism would cease

One thing must be clear, satanic forces has get major defeats in the last year.
Now they unite their forces to get the goal for what they have been working for decades.
They must show now their faces, its not possible anymore to work behind the curtains.
The MSM have shown that they are in bed with the corrupt politicians, the politicians have shown that they give a damn sh*t on “deplorables”.
There is a realy good chance to win this fight against the evilness and I realy believe the good side will win.
I dont know, is it GOD`s mercy or GOD´s cruelity that let the evil forces came just one step near to their goal and then let them fail.
Anyway, fu*k evil sc*m eat your own sh*t.

Voting matters. The people in Newton have aligned themselves with the democratic, progressive, communist, islam party. This is one of the results.

People wracked by white guilt. Spoilt brats have to blame their guilt on something. They certainly ain’t gonna blame it on Megroes, Moslems, Migrants, Mexicans and Mongrels.
They LOOK DOWN ON THEM!!

I graduated from Newton North (I hesitate to state the year!) Lets just say that back then we were still trying to come to grips with Watergate…This issue of anti Israel bias and propaganda in the Newton public schools has been going on for some time. While Newton is home to many Jews who have been unfortunately brainwashed to believe the lies there are also a number of very concerned parents (Jewish and otherwise) who have been doggedly pursuing this campaign of pro “Palestinian” indoctrination and demonization of Israel that is presented as truthful learning materials. This is undoubtably going on in many other school systems across the country. I give the parents in Newton a lot of credit for not backing down. They hit many road blocks in their attempt to get the truth out there and they are persevering. CAMERA (The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting) has been front and center and their help in this fight has been invaluable.

A CAMERA rep. who formerly worked for the SPLC spoke to my ACT for America chapter. He said it’s impossible to refute the entirety of the anti-Israel propaganda being disseminated across the USA so they have to pick their battles and he stated that even if they win the ugly fact is retractions are never front page material.

How can this sh it even happen in the US? Some of the people excusing this are Jews themselves – to me that makes it even more incomprehensible. I get muslim cockroaches and America-hating and Jew-hating leftist freaks loving this but JEWS – I just don’t get it.

I was so disgusted after reading this. The “people” should have rushed the stage and bodily picked these people up and unceremoniously thrown them into the gutter. Lets go before a judge and jury and the jury should not convict. This extortion and corruption should be dealt with roughly. Recall them and as the new ones take their seats you point your finger and say WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!!. I am embarrassed that Massachusetts is communist. The birth place of our nation. The shot heard round the world. Piff…

It’s acceptable nowadays to attack Jews but not so much Muslims…
