Too many of America’s schoolchildren are being taught to hate Jews

Practical steps to improve America’s higher education system

America’s higher education system is in freefall, for young adults are indoctrinated, not educated. It doesn’t have to be that way. Imagine you are a mouse in the corner of the conference room when the Board of Trustees of a small Midwest...
