apnews.com
The House has passed legislation that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

hr-6090 will make criticizing isreal illegal including the protests. it’s already passed the the house and biden has signaled his support for it. i wonder why this isn’t on lemmy already since it’s been a thing for a month so far.

    This is pretty interesting. This topic was discussed ad nauseum when it happened, there’s even a cross post that’s over a month old with 280 upvotes and 50 comments.

    But on my feed post is showing as less than an hour old, and appears in at least 3 other communities for me.

    Also the headline of the actual article is:

    House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war

    Nowhere in the article does it mention making “Gaza genocide protests illegal”. I think misrepresenting the contents of the article and changing the headline could very well explain why the posts was removed from another community.
