Antisemitism; prohibit in state public educational institutions.

HB 480 prohibits antisemitism and other forms of discrimination (based on race, religion, ethnicity, etc.) in Mississippi's public schools and colleges. It requires these institutions to treat antisemitic incidents identically to race-based discrimination, using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism. The bill provides specific examples of antisemitic behavior, including supporting groups like Hamas, participating in BDS campaigns, or organizing events that harass Jewish students. Failure to comply after written notice can result in funding penalties or reduced state support, enforced by state education bodies.
