Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act
HR 3266, the Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act, requires the U.S. Secretary of State to report annually on curriculum content in Palestinian Authority (PA) schools and UNRWA schools in the West Bank and Gaza. The bill mandates reports assessing whether textbooks contain content encouraging violence or intolerance toward other nations or ethnic groups, steps the PA is taking to align with UN tolerance standards, and how U.S. aid funds are used to address such content. It specifically directs the State Department to review materials like textbooks, maps, and math problems referencing conflicts, as documented in a 2018 GAO report. The reports must be submitted publicly and include details on U.S. diplomatic efforts to promote peace in Palestinian education. This is a procedural bill focused on monitoring curriculum content, not altering education policy directly.
