See background: UK watchdog investigates one of Britain’s largest Muslim charities for Hamas ties. The more Western institutions investigate, the more they will find “surprising” links of Muslim organizations, and particularly Islamic charities, to the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is an offshoot. The Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism funding trial in America, […]
Connecticut: New law requires educators to develop curriculum materials for Islamic, Arab studies
Holocaust and genocide studies are certainly not the same as advancing Islamic and Arab studies materials. Does the law include curriculum materials for Judaism studies? Let’s hope this ridiculous law is challenged legally. Already it’s drawing such concern: Chris Healy, executive director of the Connecticut Catholic Conference, concurred. The Courant cited him as saying that […]
Trump Calls Education Department a ‘Con Job,’ Wants It Closed ‘Immediately’
New in PJ Media: Could the Department of Education (DOE), a massive boondoggle that has done nothing but oversee a decline in the quality of American education and the substitution of wokeism for readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic, really go away? If Donald Trump wins yet another victory, it will. Fox News reported Wednesday that reporters asked Trump […]
Biden Regime’s Department of Education Sues Columbia University, But Not For What You’d Expect
New in PJ Media: After anti-Israel mobs rioted at Columbia University, broke into an academic building, and menaced Jewish students, it’s not surprising that the Department of Education has opened a civil rights investigation of the university. Clearly, the rights of many Jewish and pro-Israel students were trampled, and so it’s reassuring to see the […]
NYC Department of Education claims jihad just means struggle, doesn’t involve violence
No one with any familiarity with the Qur’an or Islamic tradition, as well as Islamic law, could honestly claim this. Yes, jihad means “struggle,” and there are as many uses of the word in Arabic with as many different connotations as there are of “struggle” in English. However, the primary understanding of jihad in traditional Islamic theology is […]
Feds start investigations into antisemitism and alleged ‘Islamophobia’ at colleges
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says there is a huge increase in “Islamophobia,” as always undefined but here apparently referring to discrimination against and harassment of Muslims. Yet CAIR has a history of publicizing fake anti-Muslim hate crimes. Do the feds investigating campus “Islamophobia” know that? Would they care if they did? Or would […]
Federal judge blocks Biden administration directives allowing transgenders in women’s sports and women’s bathrooms
It’s about time. Judge Charles Atchley Jr. of the Eastern District of Tennessee is setting a needed precedent on an issue that has exploded into over-the-top insanity. Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor stated correctly that Atchley’s order “is a major victory for women’s sports and for the privacy and safety of girls and women in […]
US universities fail to report $6,500,000,000 in foreign gifts, including money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar
Why are American colleges and universities radioactive sinkholes of pro-jihad, anti-American propaganda? Here are six and a half billion reasons why. “Investigation Prompts Schools to Report $6.5 Billion in Undisclosed Foreign Gifts and Contracts,” by Ivan Pentchoukov, Epoch Times, October 20, 2020: NEW YORK—American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, […]
Trump Pushes Back Against Campus Anti-Semitism
Pro-Palestinian thuggery on campus finally gets a rebuke. My latest in FrontPage: President Trump made history again on Wednesday, when he signed an executive order authorizing the Department of Education to act against anti-Semitism on American college and university campuses, and making it clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting […]
Department of Education says Duke-UNC program must include other religions, not just “positive aspects of Islam”
“The Department of Education maintained that the joint Duke University-University of North Carolina program needs to ‘expand’ to include more religions beyond Islam to fulfill federal grant funding requirements.” The problem is that the Duke-UNC program has been disproportionately presenting “the positive aspects of Islam, while there is an absolute absence of any similar focus […]
