But following panicked and conspiratorial claims about changes to TikTok’s U.S. operating structure, UpScrolled’s user base exploded to…

It's the stories: the struggles, the triumphs, the personal journeys that help us see ourselves and others more clearly. The Olympics offer us a unique opportunity to explore something deeper: the complexities of identity—individual and national. When we bring these conversations into our classrooms, we're teaching students to see the human stories behind the…

Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attacks, analysts from the ADL Center on Extremism (COE) have tracked how some U.S.-based anti-Zionist activists and groups, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters, are amplifying propaganda from Palestinian Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and others to promote support for the “resistance” — a euphemistic reference to the various terrorist groups responsible for violent attacks against Israel, including  …
The explicit celebration of Hamas at a protest targeting a Queens synagogue last week serves as a stark reminder of a disturbing new reality: Pro-terror expressions are becoming openly normalized within the U.S. anti-Israel movement. The January 8 demonstration outside of Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills in Queens, New York, was ostensibly a protest of an Israeli real estate event taking place inside the synagogue. It quickly devolved into calls to “Globalize the Intifada,” shouts…
Educators should select narratives for their classroom with thought and care—ensuring that history and fact are presented accurately and with as much balance as possible.
Publicly available maps can be inaccurate or misleading; when used as teaching aids, such biased maps can create a distorted sense of events. For this reason, educators should take care when choosing whether and how to use publicly available maps for instructional purposes, especially when covering complex and ongoing topics.

Educators surveyed in a 2025 RAND study said that after school curricula and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum materials, YouTube is their most-used supplement for teaching the Holocaust and related Jewish topics. Although its videos are free and visually engaging, their quality varies; for example, Vox’s “The Israel-Palestine Conflict: A Brief, Simple History” can appear more reliable than it is. Vox itself is an American news and opinion website that leans towards the…
