Bill > HR8254

This bill, the October 7 Remembrance Education Act, directs the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to develop a curriculum for secondary schools to study the antisemitism surrounding Hamas' October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks against Israel. The curriculum will cover details of the attacks, the history of antisemitism and its role in the attacks, the spread of antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric in the United States and on college campuses after the attacks, the role of social media in accelerating this spread, and the denial and distortion of the attacks as a form of antisemitism. The Director is also required to submit a report to Congress on the developed curriculum.
