The attorney general’s office has approved Education Minister Yoav Gallant’s intervention in the Bible studies teaching curriculum and his removal of clips from the satirical show “The Jews are Coming” from it.
The skits were removed last year from the Education Ministry website for Bible teachers after pressure from right-wing activist Shai Glick, a member of the Likud Central Committee and a Shas lawmaker. After Gallant’s decision, a number of teachers wrote to Gallant declaring that they will continue using the skits in class.
In a letter sent by Justice Ministry attorney Ori Shlomai to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, he wrote that although Education Ministry decisions regarding content are made by the ministry’s pedagogical secretariat, the minister’s decision regarding the removal of the clips is in order.
