The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) removed materials from its website criticized as antisemitic, particularly regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. This action followed scrutiny from lawmakers and local leaders. MTA leaders denied promoting antisemitism, stating the materials were curated from diverse sources. Critics, including Simon Cataldo and Maura Healey, labeled the materials as heinously antisemitic. During a hearing, concerns were raised about the materials being one-sided, potentially influencing educators negatively. Previously, the American Jewish Committee and other groups accused the MTA of promoting pro-Palestinian activism and anti-Israel propaganda.
