PHOENIX - It's being promoted as preventing the teaching of antisemitism in public schools and universities and protecting students against a "hostile education environment.''
But the proposal by Rep. Michael Way contains what some believe is a controversial definition of "antisemitism.'' And it has divided Jewish organizations over whether it addresses the problem - and even whether it will cause more harm than good.
It also could be headed to a veto by Gov. Katie Hobbs. She rejected similar legislation last year, at least in part because of that division.
