Study Suggests Brown University Radicalized Students Following October 7th

If you have followed what’s been happening at Brown over the last year, this is easy to believe.

Camera reports:

CAMERA Report: Ivy League Propaganda – How Brown University Radicalized Students After October 7

Since the end of 2023, the extent of anti-American, anti-Israel, and antisemitic radicalism on college campuses has become an issue of national importance. In Congress, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce has even launched an investigation as “antisemitic mobs rule over so-called elite universities…” How did we get here?

A new CAMERA study, “Ivy League Propaganda: How Brown University Radicalized Students After October 7,” helps answer this question. Using Brown University as a case study, it documents how radical members of faculty turned a prestigious institution of higher learning into a center for ideological indoctrination under the nose of acquiescent administrators.

Just days after Hamas’s October 7 atrocities, Brown University leadership promised “to provide [its] community a chance to learn about and discuss current events in Israel and Gaza.” The statement appeared promising, suggesting the university was committed to maintaining its educational mission by providing students further opportunities to learn from credible experts. Unfortunately, it was a lie. What the university provided instead was anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda.

Consider just one fact: throughout the dozens of hours of recordings of these events, CAMERA could not find a single mention of the Israeli civilians, including children, taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists on October 7, 2023. Given that the plight of the hostages is the single most important factor preventing an end to the current war, it defies any reasonable, non-ideological explanation for that aspect of the conflict to be outright omitted from the conversations.

But speakers did not simply ignore such atrocities; they worked to make the very mention of Palestinian wrongdoing a taboo. One speaker proclaimed that it is a “dehumanizing, crude, very racist talking point that this is about Hamas.” Another decried the “problem” that “every conversation [about the war] begins with a condemnation of Hamas,” which had itself begun the war which people were discussing.
