Commission on State of Hate Annual Report Highlighting Ethnic Studies Dangers, Calls for Pause
The California Commission on the State of Hate’s 2023-2024 Annual Report provides a critical examination of ethnic studies implementation, education policy, and hate prevention efforts in California schools.
The report highlights serious concerns about bias, enforcement failures, and the lack of oversight in ethnic studies curricula, which must be addressed before further educational mandates are pursued.
ISGAP Report Exposes Anti-Israel Bias Fueled by Secretive Qatari Influence in U.S. K-12 Classrooms | March 13, 2025
A newly released report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) uncovers extensive foreign influence and anti-Israel bias infiltrating U.S. K-12 classrooms through Brown University’s Choices Program.
The investigation highlights the systematic manipulation of educational materials in the Choices Program within the same units over the last decade plus, gradually shifting its curriculum to present an increasingly anti-Israel perspective.
Changes include the removal of key historical documents and the omission of others, the misrepresentation of Israel’s capital in maps, and the exclusion of balanced perspectives on Israeli history and diplomacy.
Furthermore, the report reveals that Qatar Foundation International (QFI) has played an undisclosed role in shaping the Choices Program’s curriculum and teacher training, influencing how American students are taught about the Middle East and Israel.
This curriculum, used by over 8,000 schools across all 50 states and reaching more than one million students, operates with undisclosed foreign funding and has been found to systematically distort historical facts to delegitimize Israel. The report raises significant concerns about transparency, oversight, and compliance with federal disclosure laws.

Bridging the Divide over Critical Race Theory in America’s Classrooms
New survey data shed light on the debate over “woke” instruction in schools
The January 2025 report "Bridging the Divide over Critical Race Theory in America’s Classrooms" from Education Next examines the politicization of critical race theory (CRT) in K–12 education.
It discusses how CRT has become a focal point in debates over "woke" instruction, leading to legislative actions in numerous states aimed at restricting or banning CRT-related teachings. The authors highlight that while CRT is rarely an official part of K–12 curricula, the term has been broadly applied to various educational content, fueling cultural and political conflicts in education policy.
