Jews need to pay the same price homosexuals do for attempting to
indoctrinate children.

A charter school in Los Angeles with classes inside a Jewish synagogue
is investigating two teachers who posted online about giving lessons to
first graders on the "genocide in Palestine."

Citizens of the World Charter School announced on Friday that it had
suspended both teachers due to the lesson and other points of conflict, according to KTLA, a television station in Los Angeles.

Executive director Melissa Kaplan said in a statement that the school "unequivocally condemns" the teachers' social media posts about the
lesson, including the use of "genocide" to describe Israel's response to
Hamas' October 7 attacks.

Adat Ari El Synagogue senior rabbi Brian Schuldenfrei said at a news
conference that the synagogue hung Israeli flags around its building —
where the school holds classes — after Hamas launched attacks inside
Israel, KTLA reported.

Schuldenfrei said he became aware of the lesson after the school's
principal emailed him asking if the synagogue could take down the flags,
the report says.

"After the lesson, one of the teachers proudly shared on Instagram, and
I quote, 'LOL but I did a lesson on the genocide in Palestine today w my
first graders,'" Schuldenfrei said. "The teacher went on to boast: 'My
fav was a kid who was like 'What if they just gave the land back to
Palestine and find somewhere else to live."

Citizens of the World did not immediately return a request for comment
from Insider, but the school told The Los Angeles Times that it is still investigating the content of the lesson, and if the teachers are
reinstated, they will work at a different campus.

Principal Hye-Won Gehring is also taking a two-week leave to undergo sensitivity training, according to The Times.

The war between Israel and Hamas has become a controversial topic in
schools and colleges in the United States since the Hamas attack, which
killed 1,200 people.

In response, Israel launched air attacks and a ground invasion in Gaza
that have so far killed more than 10,000 Palestinians, thousands of whom
are believed to be children, according to the Hamas-led Palestinian
Health Ministry.

A growing pro-Palestinian movement in the United States has been met
with resistance at schools and colleges around the country.

On October 18, billionaire hedge fund manager Clifford Asness joined a
chorus of megadonors who have pulled funding from the University of Pennsylvania for holding its Palestine Writes Literary Festival, which
he described as an "antisemitic Burning Man."

Omega Advisors CEO Leon Cooperman, who has given more than $25 million
to Columbia University, also threatened to pull his funding for the
university if it does not publicly support Israel.

Cooperman's comments followed a walkout at Columbia on October 11, when students left their classes to support Palestinians facing worsening
violence in Gaza.

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, meanwhile, has pressured Harvard to
suspend students for both antisemitic and pro-Palestinian actions on
campus.
