Norway: Israeli embassy asks government to act against teachers teaching hatred


Via Vårt Land (h/t twitter):

Israel's ambassador to Norway is asking the Norwegian government to act against Israel-hatred in Norwegian schools.

This is after a young female Muslim teacher posted a picture to Facebook of a book about Israel in the trash.

With the accompanying text:
Taught my students today about the Middle East Conflict, where the admin asked us to use this book as an example.
When I gave it out, this was the result.
Even the children understand the these are the true terrorists [icon of clapping hands]

The Oslo education department says that the teacher was working as a temporary assistant and isn't working there anymore.  They also say that teachers are allowed freedom of speech like any other citizen, and must follow the the law and regulations.
