City Council wants answers on Philly schools’ so-called rubber rooms City Councilmember Isaiah Thomas said he understands several hundred staff are parked in the rubber rooms every year, and that teachers have languished there for years with no resolution.

Many folks in actual and virtual rubber rooms are victims of political persecution by @PHLschools. Others have been cleared of spurious charges of abuse, yet they are still kept out of classrooms. www.inquirer.com/education/sc... #PhlEd

Three Teachers Tried to Give Palestinian Students a Safe Haven — and It Cost Them Their Jobs The Philadelphia school ordered teachers to “stay neutral” on Israel’s war on Gaza, but they helped students make pro-Palestine posters.

"In Philadelphia schools, Israel’s war on Gaza had already sparked a furor. Protests erupted after a student podcast was censored by the district, and ad hoc groups have formed to make demands about Palestinian rights from the school system."
