(Legal Insurrection) On Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will give the “keynote address at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) convention.”
The speakers include anti-Israel activists who justified Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023: Sawsan Jaber and Hannah Moushabeck.
The organization represents K-12 to college English language arts and literacy educators.
The Daily Wire’s Kassy Akiva noted that NCTE “adopted a 2017 vision calling on members to ‘apply the power of language and literacy to actively pursue justice and equity.’”
It’s a woke convention because of course it is.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t access more information about the workshops I clicked on.
Jaber and Moushabeck hit the stage on Friday for the workshop “Let’s Talk about Palestine: Voices, Experiences, and Education for Liberation.”
I wish I could access more information about the workshop.
Hannah Moushabeck
Moushabeck is the speaker. She is a Palestinian American who authored Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine. The book’s description:
A father and his daughters may not be able to return home . . . but they can celebrate stories of their homeland!
As bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father who tells them stories of a faraway homeland—Palestine. Through their father’s memories, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the diaspora feel love for a place they have never been, a home they cannot visit. But, as their father’s story comes to an end, they know that through his memories, they will always return.
A Palestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book debut by Hannah Moushabeck. With heartfelt illustrations by Reem Madooh, this story is a love letter to home, to family, and to the persisting hope of people that transcends borders.
Her Instagram is all about Palestine, abolishing the police, hate for Israel, and resistance.
On October 7, 2023:
“When you reframe what’s happening, you understand why people would retaliate, why people would resist,” she stated. “We’ve seen this in history before we’ve seen this happen here on this very land when settlers took over.”
