NEW: A new analysis concludes that Qatar has spent over $400 billion in nearly every corner of the U.S., from the defense industry to disaster relief.

Safeguards are overdue.

Texas schools should educate students, not serve as platforms for foreign-backed ideological influence.

Islamist networks and regime-linked organizations continue to build influence on American campuses.

🇶🇦 Qatari Government Restructures Education Influence Apparatus 🇶🇦

The Qatar Foundation just signed three new study-abroad agreements with several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) at a conference in Florida: Hampton University, Xavier University of Louisiana, and Prairie View A&M University.

This very same week, according to @MikaHackner, Qatar sent notices that it's shutting down Qatar Foundation International, its US-based arm.

This isn't a coincidence.

QFI has been the subject of scrutiny lately over its influence on K-12 schools, garnering comparisons to the Chinese Confucius Institutes.

Now, it seems, Qatar is opting instead for direct partnerships with HBCUs signed out of Doha.

I doubt Qatar will actually end its efforts to influence K-12 — it'll just use another mechanism to do so.

And we have to find out what it is.

NEW: Qatar Foundation International is reportedly winding down its operations.

QFI has spent $65+ million over the past 17 years to embed itself in US educational institutions to promote "civilizational jihad against Western society."

In 2024, I exposed how Qatar Foundation International, an education nonprofit run the Emir of Qatar's wife, was funding classroom activity in NYC's public schools. One of their classrooms in Brooklyn hung a map of the Middle East — which completely erased Israel.

Curious that @QFIntl will “wind down” just a few months after I published examinations into their footprint in Texas and Georgia 🤔

State-Hosted Teacher Webinar Promotes Racial Affinity Groups and Organizing :

California Department of Education held a webinar with Black Teacher Project. Attendees were told that white people are raised to think they're superior and that racial affinity groups are important to "root out whiteness" and as places to "organize"

Well this interesting.

Qatar Foundation International "to wind down operations." Existing programs will "conclude" or "evolve" under the control of "local institutions."

"America is facing a reading catastrophe." While student literacy hits historic lows, unions are fighting the wrong fights.

Our Director of Community Engagement, Sharon Ceresnie Sorkin, breaks down why our K-12 system must prioritize foundational learning over political agendas in her new article for @WashExaminer:

Two Houston men pleaded guilty to helping move money to Iran.

One is already back on the streets and speaking at regime-linked events.

That's just one piece of a much larger story.

How did China maintain a foothold in K12 schools after Confucius Institutes closed?

How did a Houston Shia imam who worked with a designated terrorist organization in Iran acquire a U.S. visa?

And is the federal government tracking this Iranian-controlled Pakistani Khomeinist network operating all across Texas?

Chicago Public Schools teachers can get paid to attend a workshop on Palestine led by Sawsan Jaber, who mourned Yahya Sinwar on Instagram and is associated with American Muslims for Palestine, a group facing a Senate investigation.

This is the leadership shaping MA’s top teachers’ union.

Deb Gesualdo has called the U.S. “fascist,” described borders as “colonial constructs,” and criticized Israel while introducing disturbing images advocating for violence.

🚨 Chicago high school students were bused to a political protest by their school—carrying signs they didn’t make, for a cause they couldn’t fully understand, printed by an organization they’d likely never heard of.

The adults who were supposed to teach them how to think critically were too busy organizing the protest.

[Austin Berg @Austin__Berg]

NEW: Chicago educators dealt a stunning rebuke to Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ push for an $8.5M dues hike.

In modern Chicago history, there are no examples of teachers union membership bucking leadership in a referendum of this magnitude.

Here's what it means for the city and the union.

Foreign adversaries are shaping American education.

Georgetown University’s programming is being influenced by foreign entities that finance radicalism and terrorism.

It’s time for enforceable transparency standards in higher education.
