It is outrageous that Congresswoman @JahanaHayesCT, who is a former Teacher of the Year and current member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, voted against efforts in Congress to address antisemitism on our college campuses.
Today, we see the horrific impact of unchecked antisemitism on college campuses across the country, and even here in our own backyard.
As a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Jahana Hayes has failed to take action on any Congressional efforts to hold universities accountable for allowing blatant antisemitism, hate speech, harassment and acts of violence toward Jewish students, faculty and staff.
I urge Congress to take immediate action on two pieces of legislation: the “Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act” and the “Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023.”
These bills will hold universities accountable and show the world antisemitism has no place in our society, and make it safer for our Jewish students to go to school.
Sixty years ago segregationist politicians tried to keep students off campuses because of the color of their skin.
In 2024 it is unconscionable that here in the United States of America students are afraid to go to school because of their faith.
