Leadership at Auburn Senior High School in Auburn, Wash., canceled an Aug. 29 all-day presentation to the school’s staff by an education consultant following employees’ discovery of an anti-Israel conspiracy theory video and social-media postings.

Michael Abraham of Abraham Education runs a program titled “Engaging Muslim Students: What all educators should know.” Its course description offered the opportunity to develop a lesson plan “with the goal of practicing culturally relevant pedagogy with Muslim students.”

Staffers reportedly discovered an April video featuring Abraham in which he advocated antisemitic conspiracy theories, according to reporting from “The Jason Rantz Show.” Titled “When Israel FAKES Muslim Terrorism (A HISTORY),” the hour-long video has since been removed.

On X, Abraham also doubted that the Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7 occurred and accused Israel of genocide.

“Clearly, we had not done enough vetting,” a spokesperson for the district told “The Jason Rantz Show.”
