Ethnic Studies activists promoting a version of Marxism and hyper-divisive racial categorizing are seeking to overturn American society. They are teaching America’s young to scorn its central idea of common humanity and its Western civilization achievements. A unifying theme in the agendas of these activists is their shared hostility towards the Jewish people, evinced by their vilification of the world’s sole Jewish state, Israel.
It was inevitable. Anti-Israel professors at the college level have spawned a generation of teacher-consultant-activists seeking to inject false, anti-Israel narratives into American public schools. If their efforts are successful, they could undermine longstanding American public support for Israel.
Ethnic studies programs were first developed in universities in the 1960s. Programs were based on critical theory and what became critical race theory. Jews, Israel and the West are demonized in the offshoots called critical or liberated ethnic studies, and they are taught in an increasing number of preschools, elementary and high schools and integrated into many classes.
