Ensuring Dignity & Nondiscrimination/Schools
AI Summary
This bill amends North Carolina state law to prohibit public school units from promoting certain concepts related to race and sex, such as the idea that one race or sex is inherently superior or that the United States was created to oppress members of other races or sexes. The bill requires public school units to notify the Department of Public Instruction and make information available on their websites before providing instruction or engaging speakers related to these concepts.
