At last, what is "education"?(Jan 22, 2014)

2014-01-22 21:19:42 | パレスチナかイスラエルか
何か知らんが、イスラエルの Ort Greenberg(ORT Israel という学校法人みたいな団体が運営)という高校で、とある教師が授業中に「イスラエル軍を批判する発言をした」という理由で生徒から苦情を出され、学校側から処分を受けてた模様。
・Student's 'political persecution' of teacher reaches national stage(2014年1月21日 972mag.com)

極東の某J国でも普通に起きそうなこの話。
以下、2014年1月21日分 972mag.com『Student's 'political persecution'~』から前半部分を(略

Israel’s education minister ordered the Ort school system to investigate a complaint against a high school teacher[注:Adam Verta] from one of its schools in the north of Israel, following a letter from a 12th-grade student.
The student wrote to the minister alleging that her teacher promoted extreme-left political opinions in class, including criticism of the IDF and saying that Israel was not a state for Jews, but rather for Palestinians.
The teacher was called in for a hearing, and his job appears to be on the line; Haaretz reports that he has stated he will not resign.

Former MK Michael Ben Ari, one of the most outspoken far-right members of the far-right party National Union party in the previous Knesset, published the letter on this Facebook site.

Adam emphasizes his political views in every class.
He explained that he’s an extreme leftist, that…our state is not even the state of the Jews but it’s for the Palestinians, and that we (Jews) shouldn’t be here.
He also emphasized that the IDF is unusually cruel and violent, by contrast to other armies…the IDF is completely immoral and he’s ashamed of his state.
Adam also told us that during a conference abroad, he shouted ‘Viva Palestine.’
When I expressed my opinion and said that I don’t agree with those things he laughed and said: ‘You would just kill all the Arabs – that’s what you want.’
Of course that’s not my intention and I explained that to him, but he ignored me and continued to humiliate me and to insult me in front of the whole class.
When I went to the administration about this, they held several conversations with him, where Adam admitted that he laughed at what I said and even apologized.

The main thing is not that he ridiculed me in front of the class, but the fact that he is part of the education system, and he uses his position to drive these wrongful thoughts into the students, about our state and our army…”


The ensuing debate has rankled students in the small northern town of Kiryat Tivon, sparked a brutal online debate, and has reverberated through Ort school system, which is part of the national education system.

自分で極左って言い張る人もそう滅多にいるもんじゃないけどね(苦笑)。
なんか、Verta 氏は、授業中の議論の中で、(露悪的な)反対意見を述べる必要があると踏んで極論を述べた感が否めない。

ただ、Verta 氏と(イスラエル教育省に)苦情を出した生徒の間には、少し前からいざこざがあった模様。

(中略)
According to Haaretz, the trouble started a year earlier (my translation).

“Verta told his friends at the school that the first conflict with Sabah[注:Sapir Sabah という生徒] was the previous year, when she expressed support for the statement that ‘All the Arabs should be thrown into the sea,’ and his first response was to laugh. Sabah complained that Verta humiliated her and after a talk with the school administration, he apologized…A few months later, in a discussion after class, Verta told his friends that Sabah had said to him: ‘the State of Israel has death penalty for traitors,’ and that he is a traitor. According to him [Verta – ds] the high school principal demanded that Sabah apologize for what she had said, and that she refused.”

But the story of a teacher being persecuted by a student for expressing unpalatable views is nearly overshadowed by the deep vitriol the case has exposed, which can hardly be distinguished from incitement – not so much against Arabs or Palestinians, but against the Left.

自分の思想を馬鹿にされたことへの仕返しなのかただの逆恨みか・・・。
いずれにしろ、政治も巻き込んだ騒ぎになった時点で苦情を出した生徒の勝ちなのかもしれない。


ともかく、この騒動に関し、この学校の高校生達が Verta 氏を支持するためのデモを行っていた。
もっとも、Verta 氏を非難する人達も小規模なデモを行ってたけど・・・。

Students show support for 'leftist' teacher facing dismissal

(中略)
During the student's demonstration the pupils covered their moths with bandages and protested at what they dubbed an infringement on freedom of speech.
The demonstration was held under the slogan, "Yes to Education, No to Silencing."

Ori, a 12th grader, said that "it is inconceivable that they don’t involve students and let their say be heard. It's unbelievable that the entire case is based on the complaint of one student, when no one else heard the things she alleges the teacher said."

Ziv, another 12th grader, added that Verta "is a great teacher. Nobody heard the things she claimed he said. We have never experienced silencing in our school like this, not on our teachers and not on us. We talk about these kinds of things all the time, we do not always agree, and we argue, but this is part of democracy, isn't it?"

Among the protesters were also parents who came to show their support.
Ziv Vitali Shomroni, whose twins were demonstrating, said: "I think it is very important the teachers share their views and foster a discussion in class. It is part of their duty. As long at they are not breaking the rules and spreading incitement or racism then it does not matter if their opinions are left or right."

これに対し、学校側は冷やかな意見だった。

(中略)
Ort CEO Zvi Peleg said in response that the teacher's political opinions have no place in the classroom.
"During his hearing he confirmed that he does not think that the IDF is a moral army. He also confirmed that he told the students he participated in protests abroad and even shouted 'Viva Palestine.' I don't think that these are topics that should be discussed in civics class; needless to say he does not have the tools to decide if the IDF is moral or immoral."

Peleg further said that "I don't think that the students of Israel need to hear something like that from their parents. The Ort system encourages enlistment into the IDF, and we also gauge our principals according to the level of conscription of their students."
