Bill Summary
AN ACT To provide for the consideration of a definition of antisemitism set forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of Federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide for the consideration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in the enforcement of federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities. The bill clarifies that discrimination against Jews can be considered a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, even if the discrimination is based on perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics rather than solely on religion. It requires the Department of Education to take the IHRA definition of antisemitism into account when investigating potential violations of Title VI. The bill also emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness and understanding of antisemitism, improving safety and security for Jewish communities, and reversing the normalization of antisemitism as part of the United States' national strategy to counter this form of discrimination.
