Absolutely not to defend taking money from foreign governments, but I understand it. Because when you underfund education, the districts will scrounge for money anyplace they can... :(
At face value many will surely say its conflating to equate Oberon's refusal to succomb to Soro's "agenda in Hungary, yet as NBC News' extensive quotes recount for posterity the ISSUE is very much the same.
Liberal [elitists] = good
Conservative [.....] = everything from fascist to isolationist [anything that may stick]
The situation highlighted in/by NYC DOE is, as others have noted, just one of many, seemingly disparate, influences yet when connecting the dots Oberon's warning merits serious consideration. [“If you separate Western civilization from its Judaeo-Christian heritage, the worst things in history happen,"]
How many Gazan stores are selling maps "showing" Israel? If the question is TOO DIFFICULT for Mr. Banks, perhaps any of the "enlightened" Hamas supporters across our many [all too many] campuses could answer.
"Out of the mouths of babes [in the woods]:"
Banks at the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education. “That individual teacher bought that map on her own with her own resources when she was in [Israeli] Jerusalem.”
OK, maybe someone can explain this to me -- What is the end goal here? TO develop popular support for the destruction of Israel? Because it seems like in the unlikely event of this occurring, the most probable outcome would be a lot of dead Jews and another impoverished Arab state with sharia law (bad for women, gays, Jews, Christians and pretty much everyone else). How could anyone who claims to be progressive want this?
Palestine was what the area was called under the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate, before the peoples of the region formed independent nations. Why can’t people just accept that Israel is a country, a tiny country, that exists and was one of several countries formed in the wake of colonialism when those empires collapsed? The answer (that nobody’s acknowledging, of course) is that most people in the region CAN accept this reality, albeit reluctantly. Egypt can. Jordan can. Syria can. Lebanon can. They don’t rewrite maps, and they don’t want the land on which Israel sits. Does it ever occur to people that there may be something very wrong with the remaining tiny group of people that refuses to accept this basic truth, to the extent that they need to create their own erroneous maps and indoctrinate schoolchildren?
They can’t accept it because of antisemitism. That’s it. How many atrocious wars have come and gone without this level of reaction? Israel is the size of Jersey but for some people, that’s too much for the Jews.
“I certainly don’t believe that any foreign government that supports terrorism or is not a democratic society should be allowed to contribute to our educational system,”
That absolutely should include universities, both public and private. We’ve seen the results of such investment in the anti-Israel, anti-West riots on campuses across the US. To address these malign influences, we first need an accounting of where this money has gone and how it’s been used.
Makes me wonder that if foreign governments are supporting districts in NY, in what other states are they supporting school districts? Who makes the decision whether or not to accept donations from certain countries or individuals for that matter?

NYPS spent $30,738 per student in FY 2023. On what planet is that "underfunded"?
For perspective reflect back a couple years:

I don’t think Qatar is so altruistic to expect nothing in return for their largess. Get real and stop insulting our intelligence.
Here is one problem: he works in a consequence free environment.

As Ilhan Omar (D-Hamas) said, "it's all about the Benjamins, baby." Money talks.

No one is spending over a million dollars and not expecting something in return or having control over how that money is spent.
Excellent reporting from TFP on something the MSM has/will ignore.
Quatar government set a certain conditions to the schools, like teaching certain subjects and hiring certain teachers

You lost me at Stephen Miller.
So with a budget of only $38,000/student NYC public schools need to turn to the Muslim Brotherhood in their never-ending quest to get “fully funded”?
