  Last Month the Wheels of Justice human rights group was blocked from speaking at Andover High school because pro-apartheid (Jimmy Carter's words ! now) forces, including the ADL and other zionists, pressured the Andover Public Schools Administration to not allow the Wheels of Justice peace group to speak at Andover High School.
   
  In a dramatic turn-around, that decision has been reversed today thanks to the intervention of the ACLU and several social studies teachers who were prepared to go to court over the matter.  Negotiations between the School Committee lawyer and the ACLU led to the school administration agreeing to have the Wheels of Justice speak at the high school and also paying the expenses to bring the Wheels of Justice back.
   
  One of the strategies of the pro-apartheid forces is to avoid discussion about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by trying to block public discussion about the forced displacement of 750,000 Palestinian refugees in 1948 and the subsequent denial of the right of return of those refugees.  Apparently that strategy is not working in Andover.  (see article below)
   
  Also note that the Town of Somerville Last month was forced, legally, to call a public meeting to discuss the Right of Return of Palestinian refugees after 45% of Somervillians (still can't believe that so many Somervillians actually made that happen !) voted against apartheid and for the Right of Return.  In one Somerville district 50% of voters supported Return.  Noted former Yale Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh addressed the Somerville Aldermen using a video presentation.
