Why Did Five Lawmakers Vote Against A Holocaust Education Bill?

Ed.'s note: It is about time people come to their senses and rationality about the collapsing holocaust view of history. All we can say is thank you to Reps. Thomas Massie (R-NY), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Justin Amash (I-MI), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), and Tom Rice (R-SC). Rep. Norman. Well done. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the sin of "Anti-semitism." Is this the beginning of the end of how the kabbalists have controlled our existence for the past 500 years?

Although H.R. 943, the Never Again Education Act calling for federally-mandated Holocaust Education, overwhelmingly passed the U.S. House of Representatives Monday, five Congressmen dug in their heels voting "no."

What sort of person votes AGAINST a #Holocaust Education Bill?

Those five lawmakers are Reps. Thomas Massie (R-NY), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Justin Amash (I-MI), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), and Tom Rice (R-SC). Rep. Norman was the first lawmaker to release a statement, which he explained as a matter of reserving the decision to state legislators. Three others, Reps. Amash, Arrington and Rice, shared in their colleague's sentiment as a decision to further limit the federal government's power.

Before the bill was passed, Holocaust education was only mandated in twelve states including in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The number is shockingly small.

"With only a handful of states mandating Holocaust education and the explosive rise in antisemitism we are seeing, the Federal Government needs to step in," StopAntisemitism.org’s Liora Rez told this reporter.

Last week, this reporter spoke to several Gen-Zers attending college in Washington D.C. A shocking number of them couldn't tell me how many Jews were killed in the Nazis' state-sponsored genocide. Only one student out of the seven students I spoke with could recall that 6 million Jews were killed.

Rep. Ralph Norman

Rep. Norman issued a statement Wednesday via a press release.

"Let there be no doubt about my record on fighting antisemitism: I am a member of three separate caucuses opposing anti-Semite and a cosponsor of many more bills and letters that combat BDS, support the state of Israel, and raise awareness of the increase in violence and vitriol against Jewish people at home and abroad," Rep. Norman said.

"My vote on H.R. 943 was not motivated by my views on antisemitism, but about my views on the role of the federal government and its lack of fiscal restraint."

Further, Norman believes that a decision on education is “reserved for the States under the Constitution." The decision was based more on "principle" for him, according to his statement.

He continued, "So although I wholeheartedly agree with the need and appropriateness of teaching future generations about the horrors of the holocaust, I do not believe it is appropriate for the federal government to demand it."

"Additionally, I am convinced that the Department of Education already has the resources necessary to complete this program, and am not prepared to appropriate even more funds, with no accountability or offsets, at a time when our national debt is exceeding $23 trillion."

Rep. Justin Amash

Rep. Amash's office told this reporter that the Congressman's "no" vote was “because the bill further increases federal involvement in education."

"Rep. Amash has consistently voted against giving the federal government greater control over education policy with respect to a wide variety of topics because he believes education policy and curricula are best handled at the state and local level," Rep. Amash’s office said in a statement to SaraACarter.com.

Rep. Tom Rice

Rep. Tom Rice argued his decision was based on the billions of federal dollars spent each year on education, and that money, he said in a statement to SaraACarter.com, is already allocated to Holocaust education.

"Yesterday, I opposed the Never Again Education Act. As I'm sure you're aware, the federal government spends billions on education every year, including education about history in general, and the Holocaust in particular," Rep. Rice wrote in a statement to SaraACarter.com
