Greg Abbott announced he will give schools material to combat prejudice against Jews.
It's too early to tell if hate crimes against Jewish and Muslim people have risen, but hate crimes did increase in the US last year.
Greg Abbott is encouraging schools to use curriculum resources from the state about the war between Israel and Hamas.
In retaliation, Israel declared a state of war against Hamas and has carried out air strikes that have killed more than 3,000 Palestinians.
It's too early to tell if hate crimes against Jewish and Muslim people have risen since the outbreak of war, but hate crimes did generally increase in the United States last year, the outlet reported.
