H.R. 867 is known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act. It codifies a Trump-era executive order by amending the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018. The Antisemitism Awareness Act would declare that antisemitism is a prohibited form of discrimination in schools and universities. According to the legislation, it would use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism in assessing cases of antisemitic discrimination through the Department of Education.
In case you forgot, this is the same Dept of Ed that Trump, MAGA and MAGA politicians want to abolish. They’re literally against something while also being for that same thing.
So what are the penalties? Fines up to $1 million and up to 20 years in prison. Talk about chilling free speech.
