On January 9, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced H. Res. 782. The legislation, which is cosponsored by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and David Kustoff (R-TN), would encourage “public schools to design and teach a curriculum about the history of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, and the vital and historic importance of the Jewish State of Israel.” The bill also cites the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which it claims is spreading “rampant anti-Semitism” across college campuses.

Budd’s move has already been praised by pro-Israel organizations, including the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). “At a time of unprecedented attacks against and murders of innocent Jews and attacks against Synagogues and other Jewish institutions and the prevalence and promotion of false anti-Israel and Jew-hating Orwellian propaganda in the media, on our college campuses and even by public figures, the educational effort outlined by Rep. Budd is vitally important and couldn’t be more timely,” said ZOA President Morton Klein.

Well, this is nice- a federal law that requires schools to instill Israeli patriotism in its curriculum. Zeldin and Kustoff are Jewish, while Budd pledges his allegiance to them every chance he gets. Imagine requiring American children to learn about the European holocaust and JEWISH STATE of ISRAEL™, when so few know about our struggle for independence, or the number of American service members who died in Europe fighting in World War Two. Pride in being an American seems to be at an all time low, and its little wonder why, when our members of congress are so easily bought and turned into activists and foreign agents.
