Texas Speech Pathologist Loses Contract With School District After Refusing to Sign Pro-Israel Pledg

A Texas speech pathologist lost her contract working with a suburban Austin school district after she refused to sign a pro-Israel pledge in her contract.

Bahia Amawi, a U.S. citizen who works with elementary school children with language issues, was dropped from her contract with the Pflugerville Independent School District after declining to sign the mandatory pledge, according to the Intercept.

Amawi, a Palestinian-American, has worked with the district since 2009. She's lived in the United States for more than 30 years and boycotts Israeli products to protest that country's continued oppression of the Palestinian people.
