Ontario's education ministry made use of an anti-Israeli video
The JNS reported that a group affiliated with the Simon Wiesenthal Center found the Canadian education division in Ontario making use of an anti-Israeli video for student assignments:
The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) has reached out to the Ontario Minister of Education in search of answers after an anti-Israel video was found to be part of the curriculum of a Grade 10 online civics course, announced the organization in a mass email on Monday.Oh, that's easy. It's because of the same kind of government corruption that plagues many different countries. In Canada, it's clear as should be in many other places that it's a serious issue that needs to be cleaned up.
FSWC spoke last week with a parent whose son was required to watch a short video about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as part of an online summer course taken through the York Region District School Board (YRDSB).
According to the video, “The current occupation of the Palestinian land by the Zionists have violated the human rights of the Palestinians. They have deprived the Palestinians of natural resources, such as water, and taking [sic] the majority of it for themselves. The Zionists that are granted these privileges are backed by the military. … This conflict continues to rage on because the Israelis continue to live as occupiers while the Palestinians live under occupation.”
When the parent complained to the YRDSB about misinformation and bias in the video, it was quickly removed from the course’s online portal.
Questions remain, however, about how many students were exposed to the video, whether the video remains in the Ontario curriculum and how such a libelous video ended up in the curriculum in the first place.
