Knesset members want to dictate Bedouin educational policy
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Root-out-ISIS-ideology-in-Beduin-schools-in-Negev-432578The government must act to root out Islamic State ideology in Beduin schools, MK Meir Cohen (Yesh Atid) said on Tuesday.
He made these remarks as a guest of the Knesset Education, Sports and Culture committee which convened to discuss Islamic State ideology in the Israeli education system following a motion for debate on the issue initiated by Cohen.
“In touring the Beduin towns [in the Negev] I hear from numerous people of a phenomenon of a strengthening of Islamic presence and an IS ideology,” said Cohen in the opening remarks. “We cannot turn a blind eye to this phenomenon.”
He added that the Bedouin population currently lives under terrible conditions and poverty – an issue that goes hand in hand with education and must also be addressed.
