Provides protections against discrimination and antisemitism in public schools and public postsecondary educational institutions

HB 2393 requires Missouri public schools and postsecondary institutions to treat antisemitic harassment or discrimination identically to racial discrimination. It mandates that schools integrate the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism into their codes of conduct, prohibiting conduct that creates a hostile environment for Jewish students or staff. The bill explicitly states that criticism of Israel similar to criticism of other countries is not antisemitic and clarifies that the law does not infringe on First Amendment rights or conflict with existing federal/state discrimination laws. This directly affects all public educational institutions in Missouri by establishing new requirements for addressing antisemitism under their conduct policies.
