On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed the Equity and Inclusion Enforcement Act (H.R. 2574) by a vote of 232-188, allowing private individuals to file lawsuits under the Civil Rights Act’s Title VI authority. This will allow students and parents to remedy discrimination in education. Before the vote, House Republicans proposed adding a six-line amendment to the Democrat-backed bill to combat antisemitism. Prior to this amendment, the protected classes were listed as “race, color, or national origin.” The Republicans proposed inserting, “In carrying out the responsibilities of the recipient under this title, the employee or employees designated under this section shall consider antisemitism to be discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin as prohibited by this title.’’
“We should use this opportunity to show commitment to combating antisemitism,” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who proposed the amendment, said, “With anti-Semitism on the rise around the world, the need for this amendment is clear.”
Most Republicans, including Foxx, initially opposed H.R. 2574. Foxx stated during debate: “The consequences of this legislation within the education community are very clear. The creation of a private right of action would lead to additional burdens on already taxed State and local agencies, especially school systems who would have to defend themselves against tenuous allegations advanced by parents and activists.”
Despite the bill being proposed by Democrats, 162 representatives from that party rejected the amended bill. This represents over 70% of the Democratic members including 13 of the 27 Jewish members of the House, as well as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who was voted ‘Antisemite of the Year’ in 2019 by The Jerusalem Post.
The reason was explained by Robert Cortez Scott (D-VA):
This is just a political attempt to insert religion into Title VI. That is controversial … while we are picking just one religious kind of discrimination, antisemitism, what about the other religions? Wouldn’t they deserve attention, too?”
The muslim is now the new jew
the Jew Hating left wouldn’t want to piss off their jihadist base yet STILL 80 percent of American Jews will vote for Biden in November
voters need to remember this and vote the left out
“That is controversial … while we are picking just one religious kind of discrimination, antisemitism, what about the other religions? Wouldn’t they deserve attention, too?”
So instead, you’re cool with perpetuating all religious discrimination. Makes sense, since you’re a Democrat.
These types of laws exist to attack whites for thought crimes. Since most anti Semitic people are going to be Muslim there is no reason to put it in the bill .
How many are Jewish?
“Oh who cares, they are only Jews, they’re used to it” - Wishing all my fellow Israelites an easy fast. Chag sameach. A few hours to go here on the west coast before Yom Kippur starts at sundown.
Well 1/4 vote for Trump last time.
I’m betting we get 30 percent or better this time.
Either way, they’re 2 percent of the population and realistically are not swinging ANY state.
Trump is doing nicely in Florida. He may be doing pretty well with Jewish folks there.
Besides, they already get blamed for enough things that aren’t their fault. Don’t want to add the US election to it :)
The wildcard in each election for a while now, I think, is my people...Catholics.
We went majority for Trump last time and if we do again, I think he wins.
They are the only large voter base that swings back and forth. Evangelicals, blacks, hispanics, asians, Jews...etc are pretty steady in their voting every 4 years.
Only Catholics seem to see big enough swings to change an election outcome.
Or I could be completely wrong :)
Orthodox Jews vote Republican..ever watch the Chabad telethon..those are Orthodox Jews..the rest vote Democrat overwhelmingly. I remember when Trump named Jerusalem the capital of Israel, I went to the temple near my house(Its not orthodox dont have one near me) I figured they would be happy with this move, NO, they were outraged that this would “Hurt middle east peace with the palestineans” and Im thinking, are you kidding me, palestineans dont want peace, they want dead Jews
Social Justice is a religion too. Ask Rev. Wright.
Ask Farrakhan.
This is just more anti-white legislation.
Whites have been the brunt of discrimination for at least 20 years.
You are right. Thank God for the sects that make it 30 percent republican.
They helped we Staten Island Italians push Rudy over the edge the first time around :)
Lots of Orthodox (if that is the right term) Jews in brooklyn went for Rudy.
Could care less about anti-semitism specifically. If you protect one group you need to protect them all. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, etc. So, the question to ask is why protect one by name and none of the others?
Who cares what Jewish voters think. they support those that want to exterminate them. I’ll stick with the 25% who vote with us and go to work on the blacks.

If I don’t like this, am I anti-semitic? 30 makeshift slaughterhouses, tens of thousands of dead chickens in NY.
A ritual where you wave coins over a live chicken, say some blessing, and then slit it’s throat.
I wouldn’t support this if it was a bunch of Haitians chanting voodoo prayers, either.
