Bill > SJ5

This resolution acknowledges the importance of diversity and inclusivity in Maryland's elementary and secondary school curricula. The document recognizes that current educational materials have historically underrepresented communities that have experienced discrimination and seeks to address this issue by promoting a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to education. Specifically, the resolution calls for curricula that encompass the experiences of groups who have faced discrimination based on disability, ethnicity, gender, indigenous American Tribal affiliation, race, religion, and sexual orientation. The resolution aims to cultivate empathy, break down stereotypes, and help students learn to interact in a diverse society by ensuring that educational content reflects the breadth of Marylanders' lived experiences. The state commits to providing robust civic, cultural, and historical education that will help create engaged and informed community members. Ultimately, the resolution represents Maryland's policy commitment to delivering a non-discriminatory, inclusive educational experience that ensures all students feel represented and have an equal opportunity to receive a complete education.
