Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Night in America” to discuss his Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act. He emphasized the need for schools to crack down on antisemitism or risk losing federal funding. Lawler argued that defining and enforcing antisemitism is crucial, and institutions failing to do so should face consequences. He proposed defunding colleges that allow antisemitic activities to occur, citing the importance of holding them accountable. Lawler also highlighted the role of outside funding in fueling anti-Israel protests on college campuses and stressed the need for decisive action to combat antisemitism. The congressman’s stance has sparked a conversation about the responsibility of educational institutions to address hate speech and discrimination on campus.
