Today’s show features audio and discussion about the Teachers and School Staff for Palestine (Vic) March 3rd launch of a Teaching for Palestine resource, and a campaign to boycott STEM programs in Victorian schools sponsored by Weapons companies. We hear an  interview by Phuong Tran of 3CR with Elise West, Director of Teachers for Peace and Medical Association for the Prevention of War, and Elspeth Blunt, a teacher and member of the Teacher’s and School Staff for Palestine organising committee. 

Later in the show are recordings from the launch event, featuring a speech by Nader, a year 6 Palestinian student from a public primary school, and Isaak Bovell, Australian Education Union Sub Branch Representative, and a Teachers and School Staff for Palestine Organising Committee member.
