Florida Mandates University Course Reviews for Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias

Statewide directive follows controversy over antisemitic test question at Florida International University

All 12 public universities in Florida must review course materials for antisemitic content or anti-Israel bias.
The review was prompted by a test question at FIU deemed antisemitic, which claimed Jews invented terrorism.
Governor DeSantis has pushed for these reviews as part of broader efforts to reshape Florida's higher education.
Faculty committees will examine textbooks and tests, focusing on courses related to terrorism, Middle Eastern studies, and religion.
Concerns have been raised that this directive may suppress open discussion of Middle Eastern political issues.
