Education; prohibiting certain exclusions, denials, and discrimination. Emergency.

Oklahoma Senate Bill 954 prohibits discrimination against students and employees in public schools and higher education institutions based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, disability, national origin, or marital status. It specifically defines "antisemitism" to include actions like supporting Hamas, participating in certain protests (e.g., encampments targeting Jewish students), or boycotts of Israeli entities, while clarifying that criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. The bill requires schools to integrate this definition into conduct codes, treat antisemitic harassment identically to racist harassment, and provide equal access to programs and services. It directly affects all Oklahoma public schools, colleges, and their students, staff, and faculty by mandating policy changes to address discrimination.
