Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday issued an executive directive aimed at combatting anti-religious hate crimes as tensions flair over the Israel-Hamas war.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive directive Tuesday aimed at combatting antisemitism and other forms of anti-religious hatred in Virginia amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The governor's order instructs law enforcement to 'increase information exchange and resource coordination on potential antisemitic acts' through a specialized situation room, Youngkin's office said in a news release.
It asks Virginia's higher education institutions to submit updated comprehensive safety plans and instructs school divisions to promote safety resources. 'Hatred, intolerance, and antisemitism have no place in Virginia. As Governor, the safety and security of all Virginians is my paramount concern,' Youngkin said in a statement.
