Activists have relaunched efforts to make Scottish schools teach what has been described as a more “pro-Palestinian narrative”.
Scottish Friends of Palestine (SFP) has created a petition calling on Edinburgh “to acknowledge the right of Scotland’s pupils to a bias-free education on the topic of Israel-Palestine”.
Nikita Bassi, a new member of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s constituency office team, has been encouraging people on social media to sign the petition.
The move by SFP dates back to 2015, when a row broke out over a worksheet given to pupils at a North Lanarkshire school which described Palestinians as terrorists.
