(KRON) -- Oakland educators voiced their support for an Oakland High School teacher who was allegedly fired after attending a pro-Palestinian meeting.

The teacher's supporters said Oakland Unified School District fired teacher Kevin Sun in 2024 and added Sun to OUSD's "no-rehire list" to prevent the teacher from returning to any of Oakland's public schools.

"The District took these actions shortly after Sun’s public involvement in a meeting of Bay Area Labor for Palestine that was endorsed by Sun’s union, the Oakland Education Association (OEA). That meeting and Sun’s firing came not long after top OUSD officials had publicly threatened disciplinary action against educators participating in an OEA-supported teach-in on Palestine," a statement from supporters explained.
