Adds religion as a protected category in Florida K-20 public education anti-discrimination law, alongside existing protections for race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, and marital status.

Requires public K-20 educational institutions to treat discrimination motivated by anti-Semitic intent identically to discrimination motivated by race.

Defines anti-Semitism to include hatred toward Jewish people, dehumanizing stereotypes about Jews or Jewish control of institutions, accusations blaming Jews for wrongdoings, Holocaust denial, and accusations of dual loyalty to Israel.

Specifies examples of anti-Semitism related to Israel, including demonizing Israel with anti-Semitic imagery, applying double standards to Israel compared to other democracies, and denying Israel's right to exist, while clarifying that criticism of Israel similar to criticism of other countries is not anti-Semitic.

Includes constitutional safeguards stating the provisions do not diminish First Amendment rights or conflict with federal or state discrimination laws.
