October 7 Remembrance Education Act

This bill would require the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to develop a curriculum for secondary schools about Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel, beginning within 180 days after the law takes effect. The curriculum would cover the attacks, the history of antisemitism and its role in them, the spread of antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric in the United States and on college campuses afterward, the role of social media, and denial and distortion as a form of antisemitism. The Director would have to send Congress a report on the curriculum within 180 days of finishing it or within 3 years of enactment, whichever comes first. The bill defines antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition and its examples.
