The Jewish Teachers Association protested today to the National Education Association the latter’s organization of four world tours for teachers from which Jews are barred because of the objections of Arab governments through whose territories the tourists would travel.
The Jewish group expressed its “shock” and “concern” over the “support given this discriminatory and un-American practice” by the NEA. “It is deplorable that the NEA did not fully investigate the restrictions surrounding these tours and, having learned the truth, did not disassociate itself from them,” the Jewish Teachers Association said.
