The bill mandates the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to develop a comprehensive curriculum for secondary schools within 180 days of enactment. This curriculum is designed to educate students about Hamas' October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks against Israel and the modern-day antisemitism that emerged surrounding them. Key topics include the brutal nature of the attacks, the historical role of antisemitism, its spread across the United States and on college campuses, and how social media accelerated this dissemination, alongside the denial and distortion of these events. Following the curriculum's completion, the Director is required to submit a detailed report to Congress, due either 180 days after completion or within three years of the Act's enactment, whichever comes first. The legislation defines antisemitism according to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition. It also provides a specific and detailed definition of Hamas' October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks against Israel , outlining the nature and scale of the atrocities committed.
