Teachers: planning to watch the @munkdebate about whether anti-Zionism is the same as antisemitism? Consider this lesson plan from @millatuatx as a way in to discussion with your students: ugc.production.linktr.ee/dc6…

Loved working with @AlphaSchoolATX!

We agree! Thanks for joining us for the @millatuatx Viewpoint Diversity Challenge, @AustinScholar!
Yesterday we discussed Israel/Palestine with the amazing students @AlphaSchoolATX by exploring the meaning of the year 1948. Their insights were open hearted, curious and challenging. What more can educators ask for?
At UATX, hard conversations are possible. Check out scenes from today's Viewpoint Diversity Challenge on the conflict in the Middle East, hosted by the @millatuatx with @AlphaSchoolATX at our Scarbrough campus.

Loved meeting you, Tim! What a joy to meet thoughtful, like-minded people who care so much about high-rung thinking.
