On December 6, 2023, teachers in Oakland, California, held a pro-Palestine teach-in for their students—with the support of the Oakland Education Association, the local teachers union. More than 100 teachers signed up to participate, but it’s unclear how many actually did.

Teach-in materials included an animated introduction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict produced by Jewish Voice for Peace, which criticizes Israel’s actions against Palestinians, and then a YouTube video that labels Israel as an apartheid state due to its systemic oppression.
