NCTE issues petition
Recently, teachers and authors who are participating at the 2024 NCTE (National Council for Teachers of English) convention in Boston issued a petition to prevent CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) from having a presence there. CAMERA is portrayed as a right-wing hate group, when what they actually do is call upon the media to issue corrections when the facts are misrepresented and post articles on the subject.

During the current rise in antisemitism, censoring alternative viewpoints and only allowing pro-Palestinian narratives is much more like indoctrination than it is education.
