Would Palestinian Statehood Bring Peace to the Middle East?

Does the House Bill Opposing Antisemitism Outlaw Parts of the New Testament?

Recently, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to enforce federal anti-discrimination laws on campuses.

Some say the bill outlaws parts of the New Testament. Is this true?
