US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has reportedly promised to advance the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (ASAA) after the November elections. The ASAA, introduced by Senators Tim Scott and Bob Casey in 2016, aims to combat anti-Semitism on college campuses by providing the Department of Education a definition of anti-Semitism to use when evaluating if an investigation of discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin is warranted under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Critics of the bill argue it could stifle free speech and criticism of Israel.
