"The reports regarding antisemitic activity in Plano ISD schools are alarming and must be swiftly and aggressively addressed" ... "Any teacher or administrator that has facilitated or supported radical anti-Israel rhetoric in our schools should be fired immediately."
Why It’s Conflation
Texas's attorney general opened an investigation after a school district excused students for pro-Palestinian walkouts and used class materials with a pro-Palestinian view. His office called this "antisemitic activity" and said staff who supported "anti-Israel rhetoric" should be fired. A walkout about a war isn't hatred of Jews.
What Actually Happened
Students in Plano ISD were given "excused" absences to join pro-Palestinian walkouts, and some class materials took a pro-Palestinian view of the war.
