For legislation to promote racially and culturally inclusive K-12 curriculum. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote racially and culturally inclusive K-12 curriculum in Massachusetts. It amends the existing education law to require that curriculum frameworks be designed to avoid perpetuating stereotypes and to build racially and culturally responsive knowledge, elevating the history, achievements, and writings of communities of color and other marginalized communities. The bill also requires the Department of Education to develop a complaint procedure to enforce these provisions, with final determinations appealable to the Massachusetts Superior Court.
