As most of you probably know from reports in the media, at the protest on Thurdsay night outside the Labour Court in Jerusalem, the normal good relations between the police and the protesting teachers became ugly as a teacher was physically assaulted by a policeman. I was not at the protest but a number of our teachers (Boyar) and pupils were there. If you wish to read exactly what happened as reported by the head of our strike comittee (Anat Pik - whose integrity and honesty has been proven over and over again) you will find her description of the events in Hebrew on our site. http://www.schooly.co.il/boyer_english Click on Strike then This week Below that is the is the daily report (30/11/07) from the national committee for the coordination of activities in the teachers' struggle for public education http://www.2all.co.il/web/Sites/morimbeshvita/ Although I don't have the details regarding time, I understand that the protest will resume on Saturday night before the court convenes again.
