INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — REAL News Central Indiana has learned the entire Indiana House of Representatives Black Caucus staged a boycott against a House Bill to fight against antisemitism. House Bill 1002 passed the House with a “unanimous” 83-0 vote. The only problem: 17 people didn’t show up, including every single Black Democrat member of the House.
“I couldn’t believe it.” One member of the house who asked not to be named said. “We were all looking around and said, ‘they’re really going to boycott this?’”
According to the Indiana General Assembly website, House Bill 1002 (also known as the Enforcement of Equal Educational Opportunity bill) “Defines ‘antisemitism’, specifies that the public policy of the state is to provide educational opportunities free of religious discrimination, and provides that antisemitism is discrimination on the basis of religion.”
According to a roll call vote, Indiana Representatives John Bartlett, Earl Harris Jr., Ragen Hatcher, Carolyn Jackson, Renee Pack, Gregory Porter, Cherrish Pryor, Robin Shackleford, Vernon Smith and Vanessa Summers all did not show up for the vote. Those 10 members represent every Black Democrat member of the Indiana House of Representatives.
