    It appears that Macklemore incident is from 10 years ago and he apologized and didn’t have any anti-semitic intent or recognize the situation … so this seems a bit contrived to me.

    He followed up now with a pro Hamas song, which is why it came up again.

    Remember Roger Waters?

    Pretty sure that's fake. I've not heard of teacher's unions creating a curriculum.

    That's not really a reliable source. I'll investigate elsewhere.

    They have photos of it, but ok.

    I guess we are at the

    "It's not happening"

    stage.

    Next:

    "It's happening, but it's ok"

    Then:

    "The people who have a problem with it are the problem."

    If it's on twitter it has to be true.

    Thank you these sites are much better. So the Xeet was wrong, and inflammatory.

    The curriculum wasn't designed by the Teachers union. It was things added to the curriculum. The union took it down for review. It didn't refer to Jewish people as any of those things but did talk about Israel. So there is a difference.

    Based on these articles, the lesson plans and books seem totally bias and unethical teaching. I'm against the materials based on these articles.

    I'm also against the dishonest propaganda and inflammatory nature of the Xeet.

    An excerpt from an NBC News article about a real serious problem, not a fantasy by the OP. Elon Musk, who increasingly appears to be bipolar, in my opinion, gleefully busy spreading hate on what's left of twitter/"X" -

    Elon Musk's X app ran ads on #whitepower and other hateful hashtags
    A review by NBC News found X running ads on 20 racist and antisemitic hashtags more than 18 months after Musk said that he would demonetize hate posts.

    By David Ingram

    Elon Musk’s social media app X has been placing advertisements in the search results for at least 20 hashtags used to promote racist and antisemitic extremism, including #whitepower, according to a review of the platform.

    NBC News found the advertisements by searching various hashtags used to promote racism and antisemitism, and by browsing X accounts that often post racial or religious hatred. The hashtags vary from obvious slogans such as #whitepride and #unitethewhite to more fringe and coded words such as #groyper (a movement of online white nationalists) and #kalergi (a debunked theory alleging a conspiracy to eliminate white people from Europe).

    While the hashtags make up a small percentage of what is posted daily on X, they add to previous examples showing how the platform has struggled to maintain control of its ad network and how it intersects with hate speech — an issue that has plagued the platform for years. The placements allow X to monetize extremist content more than 18 months after Musk said that he would demonetize hate posts on the platform he owns.

    It’s not clear to what extent people at X were aware that the company was monetizing the extremist hashtags prior to NBC News’ reporting. Twitter, as the platform was then known, began placing ads amid search results around 2010. Last year, some users posted on X that they saw ads amid the search results for #heilhitler. Some of those users tweeted about the issue to X management, meaning the company could have known for months, at least, that it was monetizing certain problematic hashtag searches.

    After NBC News sought comment from X on the findings, X appeared to have taken action against at least five of the 20 hashtags that previously had ads, removing the ability of users to search for the hashtags. The other 15 including #whitepower remained searchable.

    In a statement to NBC News, X did not dispute the findings but said the company “had already taken action on a number of these terms and will continue to expand our approach as necessary.” The statement also reiterated the company’s intention, announced in January, to open a 100-person “center of excellence” for content moderation.

    The statement, sent via email, said the NBC News findings did not reflect the full extent of the company’s enforcement practices, including around violent content.

    “X has clear rules in place relating to violent and hateful speech, and robust protections in place for advertisers,” X said in the statement. “One of our enforcement tools is to limit the reach of posts, which is not reflected in this research.”

    Representatives for X did not answer emailed questions about how it decides which hashtags to demonetize or block entirely.

    X bans the promotion or glorification of violence and has previously applied the policy to racist and antisemitic content. In April, an NBC News report found that at least 150 paid X subscribers at the time were sharing pro-Nazi content, including speeches by Adolf Hitler. Being a paid subscriber of X allows users to potentially enroll in X’s revenue sharing program, which gives creators a cut of ad dollars generated from their content.

    Anika Collier Navaroli, who worked at Twitter as a senior content policy expert before leaving in 2021, said that X could block or demonetize specific hashtags like #whitepower if it wanted to without compromising its free speech principles.

    “There’s no freedom to trend, or populate at the top of search, or be recommended to new people. These are not freedoms,” said Navaroli, now a senior fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University.

    Musk has rolled back much of the content moderation on X since he bought the app, then known as Twitter, in October 2022.

    X has lost dozens of major advertisers under Musk’s ownership, with 74 out of the top 100 U.S. advertisers from that month no longer spending on the platform as of May, according to research firm Sensor Tower. At least some of those former advertisers, such as Disney, quit X after reports about antisemitism and other forms of hate on the platform, including in posts by Musk himself. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, created a firestorm in November when he embraced the concept of the “great replacement,” which says there is a conspiracy to replace the white population with nonwhite people.
