Teachers Object to Book with Pictures of Jewish Boys..

From a newspaper in Dubai, comes this incredible story of teachers objecting to a picture book that shows two jewish boys.

Education authorities here have promised to review a book taught in an international private school that features a photograph of two Jewish children sporting plaited hair and yarmulke.

Dr. Obaid Butti al Mohiri, the director of Curriculums Centre at the Ministry of Education, said he would order the withdrawal of the book for primary class one of the Dubai International School if the complaints raised were found genuine.

Several teachers of the school telephoned ‘Khaleej Times’, complaining against the picture, captioned ‘We play together; we stick together’, featured in the book ‘Friends Forever’. The teachers said that of all the pictures in the book, the students reacted sharply to only this picture.
