Bill > SR0006

This resolution affirms Tennessee's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a fundamental pathway to achieving the American Dream. The resolution defines DEI as a long-standing movement rooted in American founding principles and civil rights efforts, aimed at expanding access to opportunities for all individuals regardless of their background. It emphasizes that the American Dream should be accessible to everyone, not just wealthy individuals, and highlights how the nation's greatest accomplishments have been achieved by harnessing the strengths of diverse populations. The resolution argues that DEI principles are essential for creating a society where all individuals are valued, heard, and included, and that efforts to prohibit DEI can infringe on freedom of expression and harm economic prosperity. The resolution calls on local, state, and federal policymakers, educational institutions, and workplaces to adopt DEI principles that promote inclusivity, remove barriers, and provide equitable opportunities for all individuals to pursue their dreams.
