WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) introduced legislation condemning anti-Semitism at institutions of higher-education across America and demanding that funding is stripped from schools that fail to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Specifically, the legislation strongly condemns the rise of anti-Semitism on American campuses, urges schools to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and demands that funding is cut from schools that refuse to comply with the landmark statute. Congressman Donalds released the following statement:
"The vile scourge of anti-Semitism that has swept across our nation’s campuses is unacceptable and must be strongly condemned. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 clearly prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin, and any American institutions of higher learning that refuse to comply with this federal statute should be stripped of their funding. Protecting the rights of all Americans is not up for debate. It is our duty."
