More than 115 education scholars have criticized the cancellation of a special issue of the Harvard Educational Review dedicated to Palestine, labeling it censorship. The issue was intended to address education about Palestinians amid the genocide occurring in Gaza. Scholars contend that this cancellation reflects anti-Palestinian discrimination and obstructs the dissemination of crucial knowledge. The issue had been nearly finalized when Harvard Education Publishing Group requested an unprecedented risk assessment review, which led to its abrupt cancellation, stifling academic discourse on critical matters concerning Gaza's educational landscape.
The abrupt cancellation of a special issue dedicated to Palestine is viewed as censorship and an attempt to silence academic discourse on the genocide and dehumanization of the Palestinian people.
The cancellation also exemplifies anti-Palestinian discrimination, hindering the dissemination of knowledge regarding Palestine during a crucial time amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
