EXCLUSIVE — A collation of pro-Palestinian Philadelphia public school teachers is working closely with Students for Justice in Palestine, an activist group that has publicly praised Hamas and faces multiple congressional investigations over its alleged terrorism ties, private messages obtained by the Washington Examiner show.

“We are beginning talks about a collaborative teach-in with several local chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine, which will focus on connections between local Philly issues and the genocide/occupation in Palestine,” Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia public school teacher who helps lead Philadelphia Educators for Palestine, wrote in a Signal group chat on November 11.
