Groups fear faculty that defended Hamas could set California standards: 'Institutionalization of antisemitism’
Fox News
More than 100 groups are urging the University of California to nix a proposed ethnic studies admission requirement after faculty said "the quiet part out loud."
Now we are very aware of exactly where they stand and why we have to stand against the proposals that they're making Hannah Ray Lambert is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
The controversy is twofold, centering on the state's high school ethnic studies mandate and a separate proposal to make completion of an ethnic studies course a requirement for admission to the University of California. The latter faces renewed opposition after one of the key groups advocating for the requirement penned a letter demanding UC administrators stop referring to Hamas’ attack on Israel as "terrorism."
"Through ethnic studies, what we're seeing is the institutionalization of antisemitism," said Brandy Shufutinsky of the Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies, which opposes narrow and "radical" ideological agendas in education.
