US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order recognizing Jewish university students as a class protected from discrimination.

The legislation would effectively recognize Jews as an ethnic minority and not exclusively as a religious group.

The order, to be signed Wednesday, according to The New York Times, leapfrogs bipartisan legislation in Congress that would do the same thing.

Colleges that fail to tackle anti-Semitism under the order could lose out on federal funding.

Republican lawmakers are expected to attend the signing of the order, but Democrats, including those who pushed for the legislation, are not likely to attend.

The signing of the order will coincide with the White House Hanukkah parties.

Classifying Jews as a protected class under existing civil rights protections for other minorities has been vexed for years by church-state separation concerns.

More recently, the concern among civil libertarians is that adding Jews as a class could inhibit Israel criticism on campuses.

Father, I thank You that there is finally a president who understands the importance of the Jewish people to You. They are Your chosen people, of whom Jesus is forever a member. You have promised to bless those who bless Israel and to curse those who curse Israel; when will people realize the validity of this promise. Please bless the president for his love and action to bless Your special people. In Jesus’ name, amen.

as a Christian I agree that Jews are a minority cuz they’re born Jewish as a race not just a religion and they have been persecuted in every way and every place on this Earth and it’s time that we try to stop the persecution of any class of persons
