Bill > HB8

This bill prohibits public K-12 schools and public institutions of higher education in Alabama from teaching certain "divisive concepts" related to race or sex. The bill defines "divisive concepts" as ideas that suggest one race or sex is inherently superior to another, that the state or country is fundamentally racist or sexist, or that an individual's moral character is determined by their race or sex. The bill allows for the discussion of these concepts in an objective manner as part of academic instruction, and does not prevent the promotion of racial, cultural, or ethnic diversity. The bill also specifies that students cannot face penalties or discrimination for refusing to support or endorse these divisive concepts.
