Bill > HB75

This bill prohibits discrimination in education by restricting the teaching of certain concepts related to race and sex in public schools and institutions of higher education in Missouri. Specifically, it prohibits mandatory gender or sexual diversity training or counseling, as well as the teaching of concepts suggesting one race or sex is superior, that individuals are inherently racist or sexist, or that individuals should feel guilty or distressed due to their race or sex. The bill provides exceptions for teaching concepts aligned with academic standards and allows for voluntary counseling. It empowers the state board of education and the coordinating board for higher education to promulgate necessary rules and regulations for the administration of these provisions.
