Bill Summary
Public education, prohibits teaching of divisive concepts relating to race and sex, prohibits classification of students based on race, penalties
AI Summary
This bill prohibits public K-12 schools and public institutions of higher education from teaching or requiring students to affirm certain "divisive concepts" related to race and sex, such as the inherent superiority or inferiority of any race or ethnicity, or that individuals are responsible for actions of others based on their race or ethnicity. The bill also prohibits these schools and institutions from classifying or distinguishing students based on race or color, and requires the termination of any employee who violates these provisions. The bill aims to promote intellectual honesty, freedom of inquiry and speech, and unity among students, in contrast to the divisiveness that the legislature believes certain theories like critical race theory can cause.
