,ms4 ,bass1 and ,ms4 ,kelly of          
,illinois7 submitted the following      
concurrent resolution2 which was        
referred to the ,committee on ,education
 and the ,workforce  ,,concurrent       
,,resolution  ,condemning the racist and
 hate-based attacks on our college      
campuses and reaffirming our support for

 inclusion and safety in our            
institutions of higher learning4        
,whereas1 on ,april #cj1 #bjag1 a       
fraternity at ,baylor ,university       
sponsored a ,mexican-themed party       
replete with a border wall and offensive
 ,mexican stereotypes2 ,whereas1 on     
,april #cj1 #bjag1 a homophobic slur    
appeared on a fence near the ,central   
,campus building at ,duke ,university2  
,whereas1 on ,may #bj1 #bjag1 ,lt4      
,collins was stabbed to death in an     
unprovoked attack at a bus stop on the  
campus of the ,university of ,maryland1 
,college ,park2 ,whereas his attacker1  
,sean ,christopher ,urbanski1 had an    
association with an ,alt-,right ,white  
supremacist group named ,alt ,reich3    
,nation2 ,whereas a noose was hung from 
a tree on the campus of ,american       
,university1 on the day the student body
 elected its first ,african-,american   
president2 ,whereas ,adolf ,hitler      
themed ,valentine's ,day cards reading  
my love #d u burns like #f1jjj ,jews    

circulated around ,central ,michigan    
,university campus2 ,whereas such       
incidents are the latest in an          
escalating rise in hate-motivated       
activities on college campuses targeting
 racial and religious minorities1       
foreign nationals1 physically challenged
 and the ,,lgbt community2 ,whereas a   
rising number of nationalist1 racist1   
homophobic1 neo-,nazi and ,white        
supremacist organizations have expanded 
and intensified their outreach          
strategies to grow their influence and  
networks on college campuses2 ,whereas  
these strategies include fliers1 online 
organizing1 social media campaigns1     
events with national leaders1 and       
efforts to insert a physical presence on
 college campuses to attract protest and
 media coverage2 ,whereas these         
strategies led to the recent deadly     
chaos in the college town of            
,charlottesville1 responsible for the   
loss of the young life of ,heather      
,heyer protesting the ,white supremacist

 and neo-,nazi rally2 ,whereas the moral
 equivalency and lack or principles in  
the response from the ,administration   
following the ,charlottesville attack   
could further embolden and legitimize   
hate-based activities across the        
,nation2 ,whereas we must not allow the 
freedom of speech protected by the      
,constitution and upheld by ,united     
,states ,congress to be used as cover   
for hate-based activities and crimes2   
and ,whereas the ,united ,states ,house 
of ,representatives must come together  
and address the pressing issues leading 
to these heinous actions and tragic     
losses3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that   
,congress-- 7#a7 condemns the increased 
harassment and violence targeted at     
students because of their racial1       
ethnic1 religious1 and sexual           
background2  7#b7 identifies the        
elaborate and persistent efforts by     
extremist organizations to influence and
 recruit young people and the           
normalization of hate-based activities  

through moral equivalencies1 political  
equivocacies and platitudes about free  
speech2  7#c7 recognizes the efforts by 
staff at institutions of higher learning
 and law-enforcement personnel to       
respond to violence1 extremism and      
racism and protect all members of the   
community from harm and hate2 and  7#d7 
remains actively committed to creating  
safe1 tolerant1 and respectful learning 
environments that fully respect members 
from all backgrounds on college         
campuses4
