Deutch, Roskam Introduce Bill to Improve Investigations of Anti-Semitism in Schools f t # e Washington, December 2, 2016 (Washington) Today, Congressman Ted Deutch (FL-21) and Congressman Peter Roskam (IL-06) introduced the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, legislation to help the Department of Education’s investigations into incidents of anti-Semitism in schools and universities. The co-Chairs of the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism have joined as cosponsors of the legislation.Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) filed the companion legislation (S. 10), and the Senate passed the bill today by unanimous consent.“Anti-Semitism is surging across the country, and Jewish students are facing the brunt of it,” said Congressman Deutch. “They shouldn’t have to hide their identity or repress their views for fear of verbal or physical attack. This important bill will help the Department of Education address anti-Semitism on our college campuses by arming them with a clear definition of anti-Semitism.”In April, Congressman Deutch led a letter to the Department of Education requesting additional information about its efforts to investigate cases of anti-Semitism on college campuses.The Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism is co-chaired by U.S. Reps. Chris Smith (NJ-04), Nita Lowey (NY-17), Eliot Engel (NY-16), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-27), Kay Granger (TX-12), Steve Israel (NY-03), Peter Roskam (IL-06), and Ted Deutch (FL-21). f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
