U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with senators Tim Scott, Bob Casey, and James Lankford have reintroduced the Antisemitism Awareness Act. The legislation aims to address hate crimes and antisemitism in schools and on college campuses by providing the Department of Education with a definition of antisemitism. The bill was first introduced in 2016, but failed to pass the house. The legislation is supported by a number of Jewish organizations including the Anti-Defamation League, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and the American Jewish Committee.
