On Friday, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed Executive Order No. 26-14, aimed at strengthening protections against antisemitism in public schools across the state. During the signing ceremony at the State Capitol in Lincoln, Pillen stressed that schools should be safe environments where students can express their faith and heritage without fear. The executive order incorporates the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism into school codes of conduct and mandates that public school districts and colleges submit annual reports detailing antisemitism incidents and investigations. Additionally, the Nebraska Department of Education will supply educational materials on Jewish American history and the Holocaust to enhance awareness. This initiative comes amid a notable increase in antisemitism nationwide, with Pillen and other speakers at the event underscoring the importance of historical education in combating hatred. The Combat Antisemitism Movement has recognized Nebraska's efforts as a model for other states to follow in ensuring equality for Jewish students and faculty.
