What this bill would do

The Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025 provides a specific definition of antisemitism for the enforcement of Federal antidiscrimination laws. It utilizes the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition, including contemporary examples. This definition is intended for use by the Department of Education when reviewing or investigating potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The bill aims to help identify discrimination based on actual or perceived shared Jewish ancestry or ethnic characteristics. It seeks to standardize the tools used to identify modern manifestations of antisemitism in education programs.
