To help understand this particularly insidious piece of legislation, here's text of the bill itself:

And of the IHRA Working Definition which it effectively enshrines as law:

Fortunately many of the bullet points are clearly in violation the First Amendment (according to most interpretations), and quite likely the Vagueness Doctrine as well:

So let's hope the judicial challenges against it are swift and decisive.

In particular this criminalizes calling the state of Israel a "racist state" in case there are any doubts about what a sham this is.
Imagine filing a Title VI complaint against someone because they "required of Belgium or Canada a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation."

Thank you, US Gov, for painting the lines so clearly.

You're on that side, where you will stay. Don't worry, we will come to you.
