#Newsom, the #California legislature, and pro-#Israel groups, eg, #ADL, have outlawed teaching about Gaza, pro-Palestine & anti-#genocide voices, and #Palestine #history.

They Tried to Teach About Palestine. They Paid a Huge Price.

In California, talking to your students about Gaza can have severe consequences.

@steve_zeke to say nothing of the inherent moral compromise of taking money from such a government, and enforcing its narratives. Flip floppy, opinions formed by survey, morally bankrupt politicians are always compromised by just a bit of money, or if not a bit, they have a price, and it isn't ever very high. They'll say they believe whatever is popular to believe today. But don't be fooled, Gavin Newsom doesn't believe anything except that he wants money and power.
