Brown University Social-Studies Curriculum is Pushing Antisemitism to High Schoolers
“According to the program’s website, its resources are used by 1 million students across the United States and in 200 international schools.”
Like many Ivy League schools, Brown has been a hotbed of antisemitism since October 7th, but Brown is spreading this ideology to high schools.
The New York Post reports:
How Brown University spreads antisemitism even to high schoolers
A monthly series of Harvard CAPS / Harris polls reveals disturbing, antisemitic attitudes held by many young Americans, including on Hamas’ massacre of Israelis (51% found it justified) and Jews as a class (67% considered them oppressors).
That so many youth admit to holding views that would have placed them on the racist fringes of society in their parents’ generation points to the moral confusion fostered in many American classrooms.
Brown University’s contribution to this trend is notable, not only for the extremist ideology promoted on campus by its Center for Middle East Studies but also because it aims to shape even younger minds through its Choices Program, a social-studies curriculum for high schoolers that includes units informed by the same radical ideology.
According to the program’s website, its resources are used by 1 million students across the United States and in 200 international schools.
Brown has one of the highest proportions of faculty who publicly support anti-Israel boycotts.
(A study by the Amcha Initiative reports a positive correlation between faculty support for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions and antisemitic activity on campus.)
As the CMES’s founding director in 2012, Professor Beshara Doumani lost no time in establishing a “New Directions in Palestine Studies” initiative to “shape the agenda of knowledge production on Palestine and Palestinians” and build “an international community of scholars dedicated to decolonizing and globalizing” the field of study.
Jews are portrayed as settler-colonialists who took over native Palestinian land.
The concept of a Jewish homeland, Jewish history and a Jewish people is relegated to “myth” and “legend.”

I’d be very careful about hiring a Brown graduate of the past 20 years or so.
