                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for the 
priorities and goals of the Executive order on combating anti-Semitism.

Whereas, on December 11, 2019, President Donald J. Trump signed the Executive 
        order on combating anti-Semitism into law, affirming and clarifying that 
        title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) 
        applies to anti-Semitic discrimination based on race, color, or national 
        origin;
Whereas title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the 
        basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities 
        receiving Federal financial assistance;
Whereas Jewish students in schools and on college campuses across the United 
        States face anti-Semitic discrimination, incidents, and rhetoric;
Whereas incidents of anti-Semitic discrimination have included acts of violence 
        against Jewish Americans;
Whereas anti-Semitic discrimination must be confronted and condemned wherever it 
        appears, including when present in programs and activities receiving 
        Federal financial assistance;
Whereas, on July 23, 2019, the House of Representatives, in an Act reaffirming 
        the United States unwavering support for the Jewish people and strong 
        condemnation of anti-Semitism, passed with an overwhelming majority, H. 
        Res. 246, opposing efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the 
        Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement targeting Israel; and
Whereas all Americans have the right to be protected from discrimination, 
        including anti-Semitic discrimination: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes and supports the priorities and goals of the 
        Executive order on combating anti-Semitism, signed by President 
        Donald J. Trump on December 11, 2019;
            (2) is committed to combating anti-Semitism throughout all 
        levels of education, including on college campuses; and
            (3) supports the freedom of Jewish individuals to practice 
        their faith free from discrimination and anti-Semitism.
