The bill emphasizes that discrimination against Jews can violate the Civil Rights Act and stresses the importance of combating antisemitism. It uses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism to guide efforts in identifying and addressing antisemitic behavior. The Department of Education will consider this definition in assessing whether discrimination based on Jewish ancestry or ethnic characteristics is motivated by antisemitic intent. The bill does not expand the Secretary of Education's authority or infringe upon any rights protected by existing laws or the First Amendment.
