Teachers and students of the Herzliya Hebrew High School intend to protest against the swearing in of the Netanyahu government tomorrow • The principal of the school Ze'ev Dagani will also participate in the event • The 11th grade coordinator: "It is important for us as educators that our voice be heard"


The clash with the next Minister of Education?

At the time of the swearing in of the government, which will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at 11:00, the Herzliya High School in Tel Aviv intends to stop classes in favor of a rally that calls not to harm the values ​​of democracy and human rights.

An official at the Ministry of Education claims that this is a prohibited political activity on the school grounds.

In order to protest this, high school educators, including school principal Zeev Degani, intend to stop their work and protest in order to "make their voices heard".

The high school principal, various teachers and even students are expected to speak at the protest conference.

The emergency assembly held at the school is quite a headache for the Ministry of Education, just before Yoav Kish is appointed as Minister of Education.

An official in the ministry stated that this is a political activity which is prohibited in a school.

This is not the first time that the principal of the school, Ze'ev Dagani, has come into conflict with the Ministry of Education, as in the past he was even summoned to a hearing by the Ministry of Education, after he approved a lecture by the organization "Breaking the Silence" to students - something that the Minister of Education at the time, Naftali Bennett, forbade.

Nir Shleifer, coordinator of the 11th grade at the Herzliya Gymnasium, explained: "This is a call from us, the teachers at the school. It is important for us as educators to speak out on things that should be very clear. That we oppose discrimination and that we accept everyone. That we as educators believe in the goodness of the person And they refuse all kinds of laws that want to scare and deter different populations."

He pointed out that they accept the decision in the elections "but democracy is not only the rule of the majority, it is also other values ​​that go beyond one principle. The protest is our initiative as an educational message to the students at school. We have students from many sectors, from different places in the city and beyond. Diverse students And we celebrate this diversity.

"It is important for us that the students know that no matter what decisions come out of the upcoming government, we are completely with our students, some of whom may feel threatened or even low-level citizens just because of the implementation of the new government's promises."
