Jewish Inclusion in Ethnic Studies Education: Issues, Obstacles, and Excuses

The function of ethnic studies education in K-12 schools remains a deeply contentious issue within the U.S. Often based on university ethnic studies courses, its focus on the lived experiences of Black, Latino, Indigenous, and Asian/Pacific Islander communities is predictably the target of much conservative commentary, leaving its disregard for the lives of American Jews underexplored. Focusing on how this absence correlates with the rising spate of antisemitism within the U.S., Jewish Inclusion in Ethnic Studies Education provides a clarifying re-examination of the current issues and oversights affecting ethnic studies teaching. In doing so, Daniel Ian Rubin illuminates the possibilities a reformed ethnic studies program offers for eliminating antisemitism among the next generation.
