(PM.) A bipartisan bill on Holocaust and genocide education in Washington state has had a “Hamas amendment” slapped on it by State House Democrats that would guarantee that antisemitic and pro-Hamas talking points are taught to public school children.
House Bill 2037 mandates that public schools teach the Holocaust and other genocides and augment current material on the Holocaust with a curriculum augmented by the Holocaust Center for Humanity and other agencies. Additionally, in April, International Genocide Prevention and Awareness Month, Washington public schools must also promote age-appropriate educational activities regarding the Holocaust and other genocides.
The @WAHouseDems revealed how antisemitic they are & their Jewish members revealed they are so ignorant of their own history that they voted to allow Hamas’ narrative to be taught in Seattle public schools
Of course, this was done while Jews like me were offline for the Sabbath pic.twitter.com/dPTu8aO3Ik

The bill was a companion to a Senate bill, introduced by Republican State Senator John Braun, following the Hamas massacre of Oct 7, to address GOP concerns that one in five Americans aged 18 to 29 don’t think the Holocaust occurred.
However, once the bills were introduced, local antisemites and Hamas supporters spammed legislators demanding that the Holocaust education be watered down and focus more on other genocides.
Some of the far-left educators also wanted children to be taught the false narrative that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Jewish state’s ongoing war against Hamas terrorists.
Except Rep. Emily Alvarado (D) dropped an amendment out of nowhere that R’s weren’t prepared to debate on (very out of line with procedure). The amendment is an exercise in Holocaust whataboutism:https://t.co/pAKeXTtLNk pic.twitter.com/EjzojG2U12

After the bill came out of committee with unanimous approval, Seattle Democratic Rep. Emily Alvarado, in a move attempting to pacify her far-left base, slapped what legislators have dubbed the “Hamas amendment” on the legislation that would open the door for the Holocaust curriculum to include the false Hamas narrative in an attempt to offset addressing pro-Israel “bias” in the material.
On the floor, Rep. Alvarado said her amendment was about making sure Holocaust education is “inclusive” and “accountable.” WTF?????? pic.twitter.com/7vV11uCNx2
