The documentary “Killing America” explores how activist teachers in the Bay Area, known for their diversity and tolerance, spread falsehoods about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, leading to a surge in antisemitism and shocking parents.
Synopsis
Since the hippie invasion in the 1960s, the Bay Area has prided itself as a bastion of diversity, tolerance, and open-mindedness. Yet, after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Bay Area schools erupted in virulent antisemitism as activist teachers spread falsehoods about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, leaving parents both stunned and outraged. The documentary, “Killing America,” investigates in detail how various forces and influences within the educational system permitted this hate — which first targeted whites and Asians — to erupt with impunity in such a “tolerant” place.
