Watch live: House Education subcommittee holds hearing on combatting antisemitism in K-12 schools

The Hill

The House Education subcommittee on Wednesday morning is slated to hold a hearing on combatting antisemitism in K12 schools.

The House earlier this month approved a bill that seeks to crack down on antisemitism on college campuses, a measure that hit the floor as proPalestinian protests roil universities across the country.

The chamber approved the bipartisan legislation — titled the Antisemitism Awareness Act and introduced by Rep. Mike Lawler (RN.Y.) — in a 32091 vote, sending it to the Senate for consideration. Twentyone Republicans and 70 Democrats opposed the measure.

The bill would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism when enforcing antidiscrimination laws.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. EDT.
