    Thank you @KaBKaBKa for conceding that Israeli Zionism is genocidal racism. The answer to your question is quite clear in my answer. You're evidently too deeply programmed to see it.

    Israel doesn't have a "right" to exist. To paraphrase article 12 of the Jerusalem Declaration:
    all should live together in peace in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea
    as equals
    http://jerusalemdeclaration.org/

    People who claim to be Jewish (and whether Israelis are Jewish is contested) are entitled to live in peace in those lands. They ought not, however, aspire be the Master Race of those lands. That fundamental of Israeli Zionism endangers Jews worldwide.

    @DropBear @prasoon @appassionato @palestine @israel For me, there is a big difference between genocide and expulsion. And not all Israelis are nationalists or dream of a master race. Nevertheless, even the peaceful Israelis there will not be able to live in peace if the Palestinians do not get their own state. A joint state is absolutely illusory. And even if there are two states and peace, Hamas or its successors will continue to attack Israel.

    Courtney Gore, the co-host of a right-wing online talk show, won a seat on a Texas school board on the basis that she would undo leftist indoctrination and get rid of educational materials with inappropriate messages about sexuality and race. Then she took office and actually read the curriculum, finding that the subject matter simply taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.” The Texas Tribune talked to her about why she ran for office, what she thinks is behind the push to take over school boards, and the backlash she's faced since speaking out against the ultra-right element of the Republican party.

    @CultureDesk @bookstodon I take donation calls for Free Speech TV and get such a plethora of cranks, one telling me that , "did I know that the books being banned teach little kids how to give blow jobs?!??"

    I was completely unprofessional and absolutely LOLed in his stupid ear. Moron.

    70 years ago, the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education led to the desegregation of schools. However this also led to thousands of Black teachers losing their jobs. "Prior to 1954, there were about 82,000 Black teachers in the United States," write a team of academics for @TheConversationUS. "A decade later, with hundreds of segregated schools closing, more than 38,000 Black teachers had been fired by white school leaders." Read more about the importance of Black teachers and why 70 years after Brown, school educators are still mostly white.

    This story must be told

    Two schoolgirls stand on the ruins of their school on Feb. 12, 2016, in Dzita, Ghana. The Dzita EP Basic School's four compounds fell victim to coastal erosion during the region's rainy season.

    "To me this scene summarises it all: it captures the violence of nature that rebels, the powerlessness of the local communities and the lack of hope and future of the coming generations."
