"The previous education minister, Gideon Sa’ar, dedicated much of his effort to molding the national education system to reflect his own views, in part by encouraging the involvement of organizations such as the Institute for Zionist Strategies in curriculum development. Sa’ar has gone on to head the Interior Ministry but the damage wreaked by the indoctrination is still apparent, and his successor seems not to be doing enough in the way of repair. Shay Piron must wrest the school curriculum from the vested interests and end the interference of right-wing bodies in education. This interference seeks to undermine the state’s democratic foundations, which dictate the upholding of the honor and rights of Israel’s minority communities." According to Haaretz "newspaper", the real meaning of DEMOCRACY is preventing from right-wing organizations to be involved with education.
