CAIR-NY: NYC Public School Guidance on Palestine Suppresses Speech Say Civil Rights Orgs

“The environment at many New York City schools has become untenable for pro-Palestine activists and Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students and teachers,” said Lamya Agarwala, Supervising Attorney at CAIR-NY. “Chancellor Banks has a responsibility to protect the true safety of students and teachers and ensure that no one is discriminated against because of their views on Palestine or who they are. We join our fellow civil rights partners in calling on Chancellor Banks to revisit his guidance to schools and call for an end to the unwarranted censorship and punishment.”
