    (a) In General.--As a condition of receiving Federal funds, any 
public elementary school, public secondary school, or institution of 
higher education that receives Federal funds shall be required to treat 
discrimination by students or employees, and discrimination resulting 
from the institutional policies of such school or institution, that is 
motivated by antisemitism in an identical manner to how such school or 
institution treats discrimination motivated by race.
    (b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed as--
            (1) diminishing or infringing upon any right protected 
        under the First Amendment to the Constitution; or
            (2) preempting State antidiscrimination laws.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section--
            (1) Antisemitism.--
                    (A) In general.--The term ``antisemitism'' means a 
                certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as 
                hatred towards Jews. Rhetorical and physical 
                manifestations of antisemitism are directed towards 
                Jewish or non-Jewish individuals or their property or 
                towards Jewish community institutions and religious 
                facilities.
                    (B) Examples.--The term ``antisemitism'' includes 
                the following examples of behavior:
                            (i) Calling for, aiding, or justifying the 
                        killing or harming of Jews, often in the name 
                        of a radical ideology or an extremist view of 
                        religion.
                            (ii) Making mendacious, dehumanizing, 
                        demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about 
                        Jews as such or the power of Jews as a 
                        collective, especially, but not exclusively, 
                        allegations regarding the myth about a world 
                        Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the 
                        media, economy, government or other societal 
                        institutions.
                            (iii) Accusing Jews as a people of being 
                        responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing 
                        committed by a Jewish person or group, Israel, 
                        or for acts committed by a non-Jewish 
                        individual.
                            (iv) Accusing Jews as a people or Israel of 
                        inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
                            (v) Accusing Jewish citizens of being more 
                        loyal to Israel, or the alleged priorities of 
                        Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their 
                        country of citizenship.
                            (vi) Demonizing Israel by using the symbols 
                        and images associated with classic antisemitism 
                        to characterize Israel or Israelis, drawing 
                        comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to 
                        that of the Nazis, or blaming Israel for all 
                        interreligious or political tensions.
                            (vii) Applying a double standard to Israel 
                        by requiring behavior of Israel that is not 
                        expected or demanded of any other democratic 
                        country, or focusing peace or human rights 
                        investigations only on Israel.
                            (viii) Delegitimizing Israel by denying the 
                        Jewish people their right to self-determination 
                        and denying Israel the right to exist.
                    (C) Exception.--The term ``antisemitism'' does not 
                include criticism of Israel that is similar to 
                criticism towards any other country.
            (2) ESEA terms.--The terms ``elementary school'', 
        ``institution of higher education'', and ``secondary school'' 
        have the meanings given such terms in section 8101 of the 
        Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
        7801).
