INSIDE BROWN UNIVERSITY’S ANTISEMITIC ONE-SIDED NARRATIVE
Maria Friedman sits down with Brown Jewish alumnus Willis Goldsmith to expose the rampant antisemitism and institutional corruption fueling a dangerously imbalanced narrative at Rhode Island’s premier Ivy League university. With graduation season approaching, this timely conversation reveals how Brown is shaping the next generation of leaders with falsehoods instead of facts.
On this episode of Deep Dive with the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel (RICI), host Maria Friedman welcomes Willis Goldsmith, a Brown University Jewish alumnus and longtime chronicler of campus antisemitism since 2021. Together they confront the serious antisemitism problem at Brown. The discussion highlights how Brown fails to provide balanced perspectives, instead promoting a one-sided narrative that leaves students without access to alternative viewpoints on Israel and Jewish history.
This episode addresses the broader lack of academic integrity and viewpoint diversity at colleges across the country, with a sharp focus on the antisemitic rhetoric and activities thriving at Brown. Rhode Islanders should care deeply because Brown University sits right here in Providence, educating future leaders who are being exposed to corrupt teachings and harmful lies about Israel and the Jewish people. As the third commencement approaches since the pro-terror encampments of Spring 2024, the urgency could not be clearer amid the national rise in Jew-hatred (antisemitism).

Anti-Israel and Anti-American Content is Infecting Rhode Island Classrooms: Parents in Rhode Island need to know what is really happening inside their children’s schools. Foreign influences are driving anti-Israel and anti-American content into K-12 curriculums. This is not harmless “diversity” teaching , it is deliberate indoctrination that plants seeds of Jew-hatred and undermines American values.
On Deep Dive with the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel (RICI), Maria Friedman speaks with Ari Brown, Education Analyst with CAMERA. They discuss how CAMERA is actively exposing bad actors, helping remove anti-Israel teachers, and working with school districts to clean up biased curriculum with real wins already happening across the country.
The stakes could not be higher. Children shaped by these false narratives today become the antisemitic or anti-American adults of tomorrow. Rhode Island families cannot afford to stay silent.
Parents should review what your children are being taught. Demand accountability from school administrators. Get involved with their local school board and parent leadership groups.
