Congressman Williams Introduces Resolution Canceling Income Driven Student Loan Forgiveness for Antisemitic Protestors

Washington, D.C. -Wednesday, Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) introduced the No Student Loan Forgiveness for Antisemitic Criminals Act, which would bar any student who is arrested for engaging in antisemitic activities within the United States from receiving student loan forgiveness through federal income-driven repayment programs.

“College campuses, once centers of learning, have become breeding grounds for the radical left,”said Congressman Williams.“ Jewish and Israeli students are unable to attend class or even walk through campus without the threat of violence or hate-fueled rhetoric. If the woke university leadership will not hold these violent protestors accountable, House Republicans will.”
