AI Summary
This bill aims to modify requirements for public school instructional and supplemental instructional materials. It prohibits school districts from refusing to approve or prohibit the use of materials based on the study of the role and contributions of individuals or groups that are part of a protected class, unless the content violates anti-discrimination laws. The bill establishes complaint procedures for anyone who believes a school district has not complied, and it requires school districts to adopt policies and procedures for reviewing and removing supplemental instructional materials. The bill also directs the superintendent of public instruction to develop rules and guidelines to eliminate discrimination related to textbooks, instructional materials, and supplemental instructional materials.
