Bill > H187

This bill, the "Equality in Education" act, aims to demonstrate the North Carolina General Assembly's intent that students, teachers, administrators, and other school employees recognize the equality and rights of all persons. It prohibits public school units from promoting certain concepts that are contrary to that intent, such as the idea that one race or sex is inherently superior to another, or that individuals are inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive solely based on their race or sex. The bill requires public school units to provide advance notification and information about any instruction or engagement of speakers involving these prohibited concepts. It also explicitly exempts certain activities, such as speech protected by the First Amendment and the impartial discussion of historical oppression, from these restrictions.
