Many people are expressing their concerns about the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definitions on anti-Semitism. On December 16, 2019, President Trump referred to this development in his executive order aimed at combating anti-Semitism. The adoption of these definitions has sparked a debate, with some arguing that it could stifle free speech and academic freedom, while others believe it is an important step in addressing anti-Semitism.

It is worth noting that both President Trump's executive order and the house bill emphasize that the First Amendment should not be reduced or violated. However, it is important to recognize that while this statement may seem clear, there may be issues with the way these documents are written and implemented in practice. Nonetheless, it is significant to acknowledge the emphasis placed on protecting the First Amendment in these documents.
