Here's a prime example of how Congress, in its knee-jerk reaction to our problems, suspends regular order, in order to prohibit all debate and amendments, to hastily pass ill-conceived legislation, for no other reason than political expediency. In response to the abominable antisemitism breaking out all over our country, especially on our college campuses, and in an attempt to score political points with the public, Congress, in a vote of 320-91, just passed legislation that requires the Department of Education to define antisemitism at our schools, as well as on all of our college and university campuses, in accordance with the definition of antisemitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). According to the IHRA, it is antisemitic to say that Jesus Christ was crucified by His own chosen people, the Jews. Therefore, it appears that Congress has just outlawed parts of the New Testament. After all, according to Matthew 27:22-25, the Jewish crowd that gathered before Pontus Pilate on the day of Christ's execution, not only demanded that Christ be crucified, but also called for the blood of Christ to be on them and on their children. Furthermore, both the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul taught that their own people, the Jews, denied and put to death their own Messiah, Jesus Christ (Acts 3:13-15; 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15). It looks like Congress, in its heedless haste to condemn antisemitism on our college campuses, just criminalized parts of the New Testament and a Christian's right to confess or preach them.
