Everyone should have a basic grasp of the issues and I would argue that being a teacher in any subject elevates that from "should" to "must."

But a basic understanding of the Israel/ Palestine conflict doesn't include being able to recognize the borders of Israel/Palestine from a child's art project.

Why not? I have only a high school education and some trade school, all before 1980, and have what it takes to not screw up like this. Surely a university educated person charged with the responsibility to guide our children through complex issues should be held to at least that standard.

No doubt, but this isn't about the general population, but someone who is supposed to be trained in the ways of making sure that they're not leading kids too far astray.
