HB 2102 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to prohibiting discrimination and conduct motivated by antisemitism by public schools and institutions of higher education and providing antisemitism awareness training and instruction at those schools and institutions.

This bill prohibits public schools and universities in Texas from discriminating against students or staff based on antisemitism, treating such discrimination as race-based under existing law. It requires these institutions to provide antisemitism awareness training for students and staff and mandates monitoring by the Texas Education Agency and Higher Education Coordinating Board. The law explicitly clarifies that criticism of Israel similar to criticism of other countries is not covered, and it does not infringe on First Amendment rights or affect existing programs for bilingual, gifted, or disabled students. The bill aims to address antisemitism through defined policies and training rather than altering broader educational programs.
