what do expect when the teachers Union shows bias the teachers are gonna teach bias
group of Jewish teachers have resigned from Scotland's largest teaching union after what they consider to be anti-Semitic behaviour amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East

A statement released by the Jewish Teachers' Network said: "We are hugely concerned by the bias shown by our largest teaching union and the impact that this is having on our Jewish educators throughout Scotland
And this has been an ongoing issue for years even back in my school days
We taught the wrong things

Green brigade is a branch of Celtic F. C football club who have a long history of not only supporting Palestine by displaying banners and chanting songs but raisings hundreds if not millions of pounds that is meant for Gaza aid via the many charitable orgs - and we know that cast goes to hamas
The support dates way back well before this latest war beginning of the 2000 it dates back to
@ecksmc I'm part that too but don't know enough about them to beat up on them. I can beat up England, Germany, Ireland, and the US.
@ecksmc Interesting that its a football club. Wonder how that got started. The hamas thing. Odd thing for a football club.
Palestine is basically seen as a mirror image of Ireland and then, in turn, Celtic reflects Ireland in many ways.

Talk about being ignorant on history
