UC Santa Cruz Critical Race Ethnic Studies Indoctrination: Is This Education?


UC Santa Cruz-Home of the Banana Slugs


Recently, we have posted articles on the efforts of anti-Israel activists within the University of California system to impose their doctrines upon students in California including high school students who aspire (for some unfathomable reason) to enter a UC university. This includes Critical Race theory teachings that include course material that claims that Israel is oppressing the Palestinians and even blames Israel for the attack by Hamas on October 7.

The Amcha Initiative has just posted a report on UC Santa Cruz's Department of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies that demonstrates how this is being done.



It should come as no surprise that this nonsense would be spawned at UC Santa Cruz (America's Wackiest University). We should ask ourselves: Is this education? To advocate on behalf of one side in a war in the Middle East? What kind of "education" is it to "shut down" a university for a day over the Israel-Hamas war? What kind of "education" is it for professors to urge their students to walk out of class? What kind of education is it for faculty to form an organization to march in lockstep with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a despicable anti-Semitic organization that uses tactics of intimidation and disruption to get its point across?

This is not education; it is indoctrination.

This, of course, comes at a time when this movement has, for years, instigated hate and harassment aimed at Jewish students in universities all over the country, a problem that has been festering for decades now.

And now we have Faculty for Justice in Palestine chapters sprouting like weeds on campuses to support the little brown shirts of Students for Justice in Palestine. Is this a reaction to a handful of schools suspending their SJP chapters due to their organized thuggery on campus? Shame on both groups. What's next- University Presidents for Justice in Palestine?
