The National Education Association (NEA) is cutting ties with Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for the next four decades because it teaches American public schools about the Holocaust and antisemitism.
Zachary Marschall of Campus Reform says, "This is pure racism."
"It's as simple as that," he tells AFN. "For what other minority would teachers say that you cannot speak to your own experience? It's a double standard that they would never impose on any other minority other than Jews."
At last week's vote, one NEA delegate said allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism is like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.
But Marschall equates it more to the NAACP explaining what racism is or to a woman explaining what sexism looks and feels like.
He says there is no substitute for firsthand experience, and removing that from the ADL is another attempt to remove the dignity and humanity from Jews in every situation.
Meanwhile, the Left loves to talk about lived experience "until it goes against the false narratives they construct when they try to indoctrinate in classrooms."
"This is a direct result of the leftist bias in higher education," he submits.
He says teacher colleges are radicalizing the nation's future educators by "making them think that K-12 classrooms are laboratories for social justice activism rather than for places of early childhood development and learning."
The NES is trying to ensure that this antisemitic left-wing activism spills out of classrooms and into society, and Marschall concludes that "it's absolutely disgusting."
An ADL spokesman told Fox News after the vote that amid an "explosion of antisemitism in this country," the NEA thinks the answer is to isolate Jewish students, intimidate Jewish educators, and target the country's oldest organization that fights antisemitism.
