Over 50 municipalities have joined a protest against presumed incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to transfer control of external programming at schools to far-right MK Avi Maoz, whose Noam party holds homophobic and anti-pluralistic views.
The move has been met with strong pushback and prompted some 200 school principals to send Netanyahu a letter in protest.
“We won’t allow dark views to dictate the agenda,” the principals are quoted as writing by the Ynet news site.
