The teacher accused the administration of prioritizing white lives and\u200c neglecting Palestinians. \u2064Concerns were raised about targeting parents \u200dbased \u200bon skin \u200bcolor.

The teacher, who is a self-described \u201cwhite Jewish educator,\u201d was responding to a message that went out on October 12 called \u201cIsrael-Hamas War.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn your message yesterday, you communicated that CPS [Cambridge Public Schools] places more value on white lives than brown Muslim lives,\u201d the teacher wrote. \u201cA few thoughts on word choice: The word terrorist brings deeply racialized connotations. You conspicuously did not mention Palestine or Gaza, therefore not including any of our community with connections to those places and people in your extension of care. Israelis are \u2018innocent civilians\u2019 but Palestinians simply do not exist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While acknowledging that there were \u201cacts of violence\u201d being committed against Israelis, the teacher attacked \u201cwhite parents,\u201d saying the district only cared when white people were being harmed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYour email ignored this entire picture of life for brown, Muslim Palestinians, and in doing so, told your employees, students, and the people of Cambridge that when a group of highly educated, white parents tells you to abandon your values of racial justice and human dignity for all, you will do so. You have told us that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hate-crime-hoax-outrageously-racist-graffiti-sparked-days-of-protests-a-black-student-wrote-them\/\" title=\"Hate Crime Hoax: Outrageously Racist Graffiti Sparked Days Of Protests. A Black Student Wrote Them.\">white lives matter<\/a> and all lives matter, rather than naming the brown lives that matter,\u201d the email said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The teacher added that the district had chosen \u201cwhite supremacy over human rights\u201d and that the \u201ccurrent crisis is clearly a humanitarian one caused by white nationalist rhetoric.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Erika Sanzi, the director of outreach for Parents Defending Education, told The Daily Wire that it was concerning that a teacher in the district was going after parents because of their skin color. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cLike so many districts, Cambridge employs fanatical people who think that condemning Hamas for the October 7th massacre is white supremacy and can\u2019t abide parents who stand up for Israel if they are white,\u201d Sanzi said. \u201cThis seems disqualifying for a public employee who works with other people\u2019s children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire asked Cambridge Public Schools to provide a copy of the October 12 message that prompted the anger of the teacher as well as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/defendinged.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Email-7.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">group of Muslim parents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  in the district. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A previous statement from District Superintendent Victoria Greer on October 9 only made generic comments related to the attack without referencing Hamas.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI want to take a moment to acknowledge the conflict that has unfolded between Israel and Palestine,\u201d Greer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/defendinged.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/First-Statement.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wrote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cOur thoughts and hearts are with the Israeli and Palestinian people, particularly those near and far who have been impacted by the unrest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On October 11, the district\u2019s communications director wrote in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/defendinged.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Email-2_Redacted.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">email<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  that they needed to be more explicit in their condemnation of Hamas in their future messages, sharing a tweet from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) that condemned both Hamas and Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other emails from teachers in the district are critical of Greer\u2019s comments related to the October 7 attacks. The Daily Wire asked the district if they had altered their messaging in any way after the criticism from teachers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Wednesday, Greer was given a 90-day notice to resign by the Cambridge School Committee. Greer has been facing criticism from the community over her handling of hiring and alleged toxicity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecrimson.com\/article\/2024\/5\/30\/cambridge-school-committee-asks-greer-resign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to The Harvard Crimson. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the wake of the Hamas terror attack, radical activist groups across the country <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ethnic-studies-groups-bringing-pro-palestinian-anti-western-curriculum-to-schools-parents-group-warns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">have worked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  to get educators to integrate anti-American, pro-Palestinian, and anti-colonialist resources from a plethora of leftist organizations into their classrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks, a Massachusetts school district focused on diversity faced accusations of endorsing white supremacy in its response.
