AI Summary
This bill aims to provide for the consideration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in enforcing federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities. The bill states that while Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not cover discrimination based solely on religion, individuals facing discrimination based on actual or perceived shared Jewish ancestry or ethnic characteristics are still protected under the Act. The bill directs the Department of Education to take the IHRA definition of antisemitism into account when investigating potential Title VI violations based on race, color, or national origin. The bill also includes rules of construction to clarify that it does not expand the authority of the Secretary of Education or diminish rights protected under the First Amendment.
