Battle for the West: Has Antisemitism Come to Rhode Island? #InTheDugout - Oct 30, 2025

Is Rhode Island becoming another front in the battle for Western values?Reports out of Smithfield High School claim that a Jewish student may have been the target of a violent, antisemitic hazing incident. But did it really happen — and if so, why are local officials so reluctant to act? Are Rhode Island’s schools still places of safety and truth, or have they become laboratories of political correctness where some students are protected and others are ignored?

Sten welcomes Maria Friedman, Executive Director of the RI Coalition for Israel, to explore whether this alleged assault reveals something deeper — a moral collapse in the very institutions meant to form the next generation.
From parental rights to free speech to the right to feel safe at school, Rhode Island has become a test case in the broader struggle for Western civilization itself.

Watch now as Sten and Maria ask the questions our leaders refuse to — and confront what it really means to defend justice, truth, and our children’s future.
