The storm surrounding the appearance of B'Tselem CEO Hagai Elad in front of 12th graders at the Haifa Real School continues, and Education Minister Yoav Galant is threatening to impose sanctions on the 107-year-old educational institution.

In a conversation with Walla!

NEWS He promises that he will take all measures to thwart similar incidents in educational institutions, and that he will exhaust the proceedings before the school.

Since Elad's lecture, the teachers' organization led by Ran Erez has stood to the right of the school, as have its principals, Dr. Yossi Ben Dov, general manager, and Mandy Rabinovich, director of the upper division at Beit Biram. The firm's CEO, Amit Edri, "before a decision is made."

"Read and do not believe," claim Adv. Sigal Pa'il and Eleanor Yaakobi from her office representing the teachers' organization, who will accompany Ran Erez in a firm letter sent to the Minister of Education. They say they intend to address the hearing "

They express bewilderment at the legal basis for the hearing, and at the "sword-wielding of closure, denial, dispossession and termination of employment," they said, "recklessly, without any justification and without any dialogue with the teachers' organization."

Lawyers argue that the Ministry of Education's move is exceptional in its severity, "especially when it comes to hundreds of teachers, in a long-standing and valuable educational institution, where thousands of students study."

They demand that the minister immediately instruct the director general of his office "to cancel the 'summonses' and' hearings' scheduled for next Thursday, and to replace them at most in dialogue with the principals, in the presence of their representatives from the teachers' union.

" "Everyone," the two noted. Adv. Activ and Yaakobi raised concerns "about the mouths of the teaching staff, and fears about the political exploitation of the pre-election era on their backs."

However, Education Minister Galant insists, and the Ministry of Education intends to exhaust the proceedings against the school and its principals, who held the event despite the Minister's directive and explicit instruction from the Haifa District Director at the Ministry of Education.

"I have ordered a ban on the introduction of organizations that work in conflict with the goals of state education, or in a way that degrades IDF soldiers in the present or after their service," Galant clarified in a conversation with Walla! NEWS.

"Beyond that, there is a serious problem here. A balanced process, but in practice organizations that call the State of Israel an 'apartheid state'.

It becomes the center of the stage and supposedly for balancing heaven next to someone.

"I think the State of Israel should not fund such schools," the minister clarified.

"The days when the best IDF commanders left this place are long gone"

"I think this thing is working against the state. I am not talking about right or left, it can happen in both far right and far left organizations," Delant added.

Do you see the State of Israel stopping funding the real school?

"I hope we reach a situation where the basic rules related to obedience to the state education law, such as identification with the goals of the State of Israel as a Jewish democratic and Zionist state, all these things will be kept in schools, and whoever does not keep them we will impose sanctions, it is clear. The elementary school for a simple reason, that the teachers and principals there are employees of the Ministry of Education, and in that capacity they act accordingly. "

Are you afraid that the real school, with such an impressive record, does not know how to do it?

"Unfortunately, the rabbi is diminishing what is happening, and the days when the best IDF commanders left this place are long gone.

Only the name remains, and today there is a takeover of elements by force of political decisions.

By the way, this is also in stark contrast to the vast majority of students and parents, who oppose these moves and are afraid to express their opinions lest they be swallowed up. "

"In general I mean that everything that is within the extreme fringes of the right and left will not enter the schools this way, and will not get on stage," Galant added.

"We should mainly think of an organization that says that the State of Israel is an apartheid state, and the next day it appears to students who need to enlist. This seems unlikely to me."

Maybe you acted too fast?

"We dealt with this matter once and twice and three times, and this conference was also postponed. In the end, they also decided to change the instructions of the director general of the ministry and the district director and go against them, this is something we would not recognize in any system.

This is not the way to act.

In addition, there is a constant imbalance and ongoing inadequacy on a regular basis with the intention of producing a political bias of students' opinions, which is not acceptable to me.

"" The third thing here is to challenge the school through other people, for the State of Israel to be a Zionist and democratic and Jewish state. .

It's obviously from school.

It comes through the school on purpose, with the intention of producing a bias. "

"We have dealt with this matter once and twice and three and three times."

Do you suspect the school is anti-Zionist?

"I gave guidance and the school does what it understands. Therefore we can not accept this thing."

Students send a text message to Shai Glick or the MK, who turn to a minister who dismisses the CEO?

Isn't that "Zobor"?

"This is speculation that is completely untrue. I know what's going on in schools and I get reports from my main system, not from people who send me and it has nothing to do with it. These (Shay Glick or MKs, YA) hitchhikers who catch a ride on what I do ".

"We stopped this conference a month ago, and after that they postponed it to this date. I instructed the principal, and he instructed the district principal and the district principal instructed the school principal - who decided to do what he wanted.

" At our disposal.

There is a big difference between the democratic state of Israel, which gives freedom of opinion in the Knesset, the press, the media and everywhere else, and the education system.

Is a more concentrated thing, I am not prepared that within the education system there will be processes in which to teach something we will say that this thing comes at the expense of a particular sector.

Can be a Zionist or ultra-Orthodox or Arab sector.

I am not prepared for them to be harmed as a result of content taught elsewhere.

These are things that must not happen. "

So there are no second thoughts?

" No, all of a sudden.

We will go on this matter to the end.

What is required.

We will not be ready for this process. "

Perhaps you tried to talk to the manager?

" We will talk to him - at the hearing. "
