Qatari money has been flowing into U.S. universities, raising concerns about its impact on the educational system and potential ties to terrorism. The NYC schools chancellor denies Qatar's influence on curriculum, but critics question the funding's implications. NYC teachers express skepticism over foreign government funding in education, particularly from non-democratic societies like Qatar. Calls are growing for Northwestern University to sever ties with Qatar and Al Jazeera due to their alleged support for Hamas. The influx of Qatari funding into the U.S. education system is under scrutiny, with concerns raised about its potential consequences.
