House Passes Stefanik, Sherman Bill To Increase Oversight of American Taxpayer Funded Education Materials Used by the UN

Press Release

"In the wake of the continued Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, this legislation is a crucial first step to address the appalling and unacceptable inclusion of antisemitic rhetoric in the curriculum used by United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) schools across the West Bank and Gaza. It's been long documented that textbooks funded by UNRWA have helped incubate the hatred of the Jewish people and demonize Israel. Following the barbaric attacks carried out by Hamas, it has never been more clear that UNRWA successfully indoctrinated students throughout Gaza. This critical, bipartisan legislation will ensure oversight and accountability so that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not continue to fund antisemitic curricula. I am proud to see my legislation being passed on the House Floor to stop the funding of antisemitic curriculum which has encouraged such brutality against our greatest ally, Israel."
