Recent events at Granville Boys High School in Sydney have raised significant concerns about the role of political activism within our educational institutions.

A protest organised by Teachers and School Staff for Palestine saw students in school uniforms chanting "Allahu Akbar" and waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags in support of Sheikh Wesam Charkawi, a school support officer who was asked to work from home following his defense of nurses involved in anti-Semitic remarks.

This incident has sparked widespread debate about the appropriateness of such demonstrations on school grounds and the potential influence of activist teachers on students.

Jewish community leaders have expressed deep concern over the use of children as political tools, urging the NSW Education Department to scrutinise the content being taught in classrooms.

In light of these developments, it is imperative that we voice our concerns to Premier Chris Minns. Our schools should remain environments focused on education, free from political bias and activism. Please send a message urging the NSW Education Department to ensure that children are not used as political tools by activist teachers.
