Philly teacher Keziah Ridgeway and her group Racial Justice follow and are followed by "Zionists out of Philly" an instagram page dedicated to hounding Jewish businesses "out of Philly"
It seems Ridgeway is back in a Philadelphia School District classroom
Keziah Ridgeway, the Philadelphia School District teacher who had been removed from the classroom pending an investigation into allegations she threatened Jewish parents, follows and is followed by “Zionists.In.Phl” Instagram account. Ridgeway’s group, Racial Justice Organizing, also follows the account.
The “Zionists.in.phl” acount describes itself as made up of “liberationists committed to exposing Zionism in our community.”
In this description post, liked by Phillyparentsforpalestine another advocacy group that has come out in vocal support of Ridgeway, the group behind this account ask for help to build up a “database of Zionist owned and operated businesses.” Aw shucks, they’re “a lil group of PHL residents committed to exposing the Zionist businesses in our community.” Just a little group of committed activists for “liberation” using the Hamas red triangle to go after “Zionist” businesses.
And this group takes issue with criticism of Hamas. According to them, condemning Hamas is an act “harmfully equating Palestinian resistance with Anti-semetism [sic].”
This page is followed by Ridgeway’s group RJ and Ridgeway herself
but don’t worry - the admiration is mutual - Zionists.in.phl took to its instagram stories to promote Ridgeway and RJ’s event on “Teach Palestine”. Ridgeway’s contribution to that book is covered here :
And it seems that Ridgeway, who is comfortable following an Instagram account which uses Hamas’ imagery and calls Hamas’ terrorism “Palestinian resistance” is now back to teaching children in the School District of Philadelphia. This tracks with heavy-handed hints she dropped in her instragram live for Philadelphia Educators for Palestine.
A post from this morning shows Ridgeway with what appears to be a SDP lanyard
Here, Ridgeway uses her instagram account to communicate directly with students.
Her instagram account also contains things like this:
Which would all be fine except that we know Ridgeway allows current students to view her instagram and as demonstrated above uses her instagram to speak directly to her students:
If Ridgeway is indeed back in the classroom, parents in the School District of Philadelphia deserve an explanation. Particularly those parents who may be concerned that a teacher follows an Instagram account dedicated to doxxing Jews and downplaying Hamas’ terrorism.
