Federal taxpayer funds continue to flow to a slew of U.S. universities that are spending the cash on programs that promote anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-American viewpoints, according to a large group of Jewish and civil rights organizations that are now pushing Congress to rectify what they call a systemic problem.
Taxpayer funds have been allocated to universities under Title VI of the Higher Education Act (HEA) since 1965. However, Congress and the Education Department have exerted little oversight, leading these funds to be spent on biased educational programs that promote radical views about Israel and even America, according to the groups.
Funding for anti-Israel programs at U.S. universities has fostered a culture of fear among the Jewish state’s supporters on campus and fueled a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents at many schools, the groups warned.

“These programs have devolved into hotbeds of anti-American and anti-Israel activity, disseminating falsehoods both in universities and—through the congressionally mandated ‘public outreach’ programs—to K-12 teachers and to the general public,” the groups warned in a joint statement on Wednesday that accompanied the release of two new reports documenting the ways in which major American universities spend taxpayer funds to promote an anti-Israel ideology.

speakers were found to have met with the terror group Hezbollah and openly endorsed the group, to have promoted boycotts against the Jewish state, and raised questions about the number of those killed in the Holocaust, according to the report.
