| Israel bans university lecturers from discussing politics in class |
| 2017-06-10 |
| [RT] Lecturers at Israeli academic institutions will be barred from discussing political issues with their students, after the education minister introduced a new "ethical code." Breaking it could mean a reprimand or disciplinary action. Lecturers at Israeli universities will be restricted in expressing their views to students under the "ethical code on political activity in academia" composed by Professor Asa Kasher, who also authored the ethical code of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Ynet reported. Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who requested the development of the code, wants the restrictive rules to be implemented at all academic institutions. "Complete academic freedom ‐ yes. Promoting political agendas of lecturers in academia ‐ no," Bennett argued. |
