Bandwagon “Activism,” Uncritical Thinking, and the Ostracism of Jews in the Name of Progressive Anti-Zionism
The October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas changed the positionality of Jewish progressives in the United States. Left-leaning American Jews were suddenly viewed as politically conservative, right-wing, and even extremist by the same organizations they had supported and advocated for just days earlier. Many progressive activists and organizations, especially on college and university campuses, condemned Israel and shared anti-Zionist messages…
“Liberated” Ethnic Studies
Implementation of Ethnic Studies (ES) classes in K-12 schools has been a contentious issue across the U.S. for several years, especially in the state of California. Due to vociferous challenges to California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC), a new offshoot of ES called “Liberated” Ethnic Studies (LES) emerged. The Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Consortium (LESMCC) focuses on four historically oppressed groups in the U.S. – Blac…
The Stereotypical Portrayal of Jewish Masculinity on The Big Bang Theory
Jewish Struggle in the 21st Century
The Jewish Struggle in the 21st Century
Hebcrit
I believe that it is essential to identify a new facet of Critical Race Theory that specifically addresses the needs of the Jewish people. Often overlooked and ignored in multicultural, diversity, and ethnic studies, Jews continue to face specific concerns and obstacles in the both the United States and around the world. In this article, I outline the foundational structure of this new critical theory that investigates issues affecting Jewish peo…
Navigating the ‘space between’ the Black/White binary
In the twenty-first century, diversity and multicultural analysis of race often falls along a Black/White binary paradigm. Therefore, those who are perceived to be White are often left out of the discussion of diversity and multicultural education (DME) in the United States. This absence is particularly true for American Jews of Ashkenazi descent. In academic circles today, the notion of ‘Whiteness’ is often used as a determining factor for overl…
From the Beginning
In the fall of 2015, a new secondary education class, Diversity and Multicultural Education, was introduced at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama, USA. Although many multicultural theorists emphasize the importance of students taking diversity/multicultural education courses in college, there is no real model for creating such a class. This article creates a framework for how to conceptualize and teach a diversity and multicul…
Willful Ignorance and the Death Knell of Critical Thought
Independent, critical thought has never been more important in the United States. In the Age of Trump, political officials spout falsehoods called “alternative facts” as if they were on equal footing with researchable, scientific data. At the same time, an unquestioning populace engages in acts of “willful ignorance” on a daily basis to support their unfounded beliefs. In order to create a generation of independent, cognizant, and critical citize…
Whiter Shade of Pale
Despite over 4,000 years of persecution, American Jews and antisemitism continue to be overlooked in university multicultural and social justice classroom discussions. This is due to many factors, such as the misconceptions that Jews are solely a religious group, are White and have completely assimilated into American culture, and are economically successful. Jews are a distinctive group in the United States who continue to experience racism and …
Engaging Latino/a Students in the Secondary English Classroom
Behavior issues in the classroom directly relate to the teaching style and the type of interactions between the teacher and students. In particular, Latino/a students need to be engaged in the curriculum content if they are to be successful, both academically and emotionally. If this does not occur, then behavioral issues will arise, which will then feed into the school-to-prison pipeline theory.Key words: critical pedagogycurriculumLatino/a chil…
Still Wandering
Anti-Semitism, prejudice, and discrimination against Jewish people are still largely absent from the study of social justice issues and multicultural education at the university level. Although often seen as being White, Jews are still discriminated against, with current reports showing that acts of anti-Semitism have been at their highest levels since World War II. There has also been a resurgence of anti-Semitic incidents at American universiti…
The Disheartened Teacher
There has been a universal movement towards government-regulated standardisation and high-stakes assessment. In the United States, this has resulted in the No Child Left Behind Act (2001). Because of the predominant focus on high-stakes reading and writing assessments required by NCLB, teachers in the subject area of English/Language Arts (ELA) have been victims of increased expectations and regimentation, more so than most other content areas. T…
