When not teaching high schoolers in the classroom or providing workshops to teachers on how to incorporate “anti-racist” and “multicultural” strategies in the classroom, Zeidan posts to her decolonize_the_classroom instagram account (its avid followers include Teaching While Muslim, previously covered by K-12 extremism tracker).
Its on this instagram account where Zeidan most clearly expresses her radical views on the Israel-Palestine conflict, “anti-racism” and DEI initiatives as more colonial, western oppression.
On October 7th, Zeidan appears to refer to Israel as “occupied Palestine” and justifies Hamas’ terror attack. Criticism of Hamas is as a result of Western colonialism, imperialism, supremacy and racism. One wonders what it means to be “anti-racist” in her world.
