Topics
Jonathan Tobin: 本期节目讨论了DEI意识形态在美国教育、企业和艺术领域的兴衰，以及这种意识形态如何导致反犹太主义的加剧。我们还探讨了民族研究课程中的激进灌输、将犹太复国主义运动歪曲为定居者殖民主义的虚假叙事，以及自由主义在捍卫言论自由和个人权利方面的失败。最后，我们提出了家长如何积极参与孩子教育的具体措施。 Brandy Schufatinsky: 我致力于建设跨文化学习和沟通机会。我的研究方向是教育，我关注的是DEI政策在实践中的问题。DEI政策基于一种追求人人平等结果的意识形态，这种意识形态忽视了个体差异和努力，并导致了对特定群体的歧视，例如美国犹太人社群。DEI的压迫者-被压迫者二元论无法容纳许多群体，导致美国犹太人成为首要目标。此外，民族研究课程并非对不同族裔的客观研究，而是基于压迫二元论的意识形态，这使得其无法客观地进行教学。在应对反犹太主义方面，一些犹太团体未能有效应对，部分原因在于未能理解问题的本质，以及在某些情况下不愿意学习或提问。一些犹太团体接受了激进的意识形态，这使得他们无法认识到这种意识形态对犹太人权利和整个社会的损害。将以色列定义为“定居者殖民主义”背后隐藏着一种更深层次的反犹太主义，即希望犹太人永远生活在流亡状态，无法拥有主权。家长可以通过与其他家长合作、了解学校情况、以及积极参与学校事务等方式来对抗激进意识形态的影响。
