Why Is Antisemitism Growing Among the Highly Educated?

Regarding the United States, in their recent study, Greene, Cheng & Greene suggest that antisemitism among those who have completed college or graduate school does not occur in spite of their education but precisely because of it. One must therefore ask whether the educational institutions charged with opening minds have instead become instruments of ideological confinement.

In fact, in France, but even more so in England or in the United States, the prominence taken by once-marginal ideologies, such as postmodernism, decolonialism, neo-Marxism, critical race theory, and intersectionality, has had devastating effects for Jews and the university at large.
