Texas House approves antisemitism bill in response to pro-Palestinian protests
- On April 29, 2025, the Texas House passed a preliminary vote on a bill that establishes a definition of antisemitism for use in public school disciplinary policies.
- The legislation follows pro-Palestine protests at Texas universities in 2024, which some leaders labeled antisemitic, prompting government response.
- The bill, led by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, requires schools to consider antisemitism in disciplinary cases using the IHRA definition but does not create new violations.
- The bill passed the House 134-2 and Senate earlier, with Rep. Jon Rosenthal, the only Jewish member, pushing an amendment protecting First Amendment speech.
- Opponents warn the bill may chill free speech and disproportionately target the Jewish community, while supporters expect it to provide clearer protections against antisemitism.
