(Free Beacon) Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Tuesday petitioned the Department of Education to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for running “possibly illegal” anti-Israel educational initiatives inside the country’s public schools.
CAIR, whose leaders celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror spree, announced late last month its Philadelphia office is partnering with K-12 schools across Pennsylvania and Delaware “to make sure every student feels seen, safe, and supported.” While the advocacy group says it wants to make public schools “more inclusive,” its lesson plans actually “perpetuate pro-terrorist, anti-Israel rhetoric,” Cotton wrote in his letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.
