Rep. Roger Williams calls No Anti‑Semitism in Education Act "a start" and says he would support it
Summary
When asked about Rep. Randy Fine's No Anti‑Semitism in Education Act, Rep. Roger Williams told an interviewer the bill is "a start" and said he would support measures that prevent discrimination based on religion or ethnicity, though he had not reviewed the bill text on air.
The host asked Rep. Roger Williams about a bill proposed by Rep. Randy Fine called the No Anti‑Semitism in Education Act, asking whether it is critical and whether it goes far enough. Williams said the measure "is a start," praised Israel as "our dear friend," and said the country should not tolerate challenges to others based on religion or ethnicity. "I haven't really seen it, but I think it's a good start and I certainly something that I would support," he said.
Williams framed the bill as an initial step to address anti‑Semitism in educational institutions and expressed a general preference for protecting students from religious discrimination. The interview does not include the bill text, specific provisions, or any testimony from education stakeholders; Williams said he had not reviewed the bill's specifics during the segment.
