Ethnic Studies is a relatively young academic area that emphasizes divisions among groups and accentuates grievances and resentment of the white majority. Its unifying theme is that American society exploits ethnic minorities. CAMERA monitors this educational endeavor and exposes its biased, anti-Zionist dimensions.

It’s Ethnic Studies ‘Groundhog Day,’ This Time in Massachusetts
Algemeiner – Just like in California, the ethnic studies curriculum proposed by a Massachusetts bill is a radical and highly politicized “critical approach” that dominates the college ethnic studies scene and is now infiltrating K-12 classrooms. It is rooted in antisemitic portrayals of Jews and the Jewish state of Israel.
liberated ethnic studies
Liberated Ethnic Studies (LES) is a more extreme version of Ethnic Studies that promotes a Marxist orientation centered on racial identity. LES promotes student and teacher activism against traditional American ideals and institutions. Anti-Israel and anti-Jewish themes are often a core component of this agenda. CAMERA documents and exposes the goals, methods and activities of this project.
