I feel this is one of the so much important information for me. And i’m happy studying your article. But want to commentary on few common issues, The site style is ideal, the articles is truly nice : D. Excellent task, cheers
SMUHSD Middle College English curriculum is anti-Israel and strongly pro-Palestine. Palestine flags were posted around the school but any Israeli flags were promptly removed. This happened multiple times. Any defense of Israel would result in Redgate gaslighting you/everyone/class to side with Palestine. She gives students hard(er) time for extensions for Jewish holidays, but allowed multiple students extra time extensions because they were traumatized by what was happening to Palestinians. Same with BLM movement and anti-police, anti-capitalism rhetoric.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
