Bill > SF2100

This bill repeals and eliminates various diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) provisions in Minnesota's prekindergarten through grade 12 education system. The legislation removes existing statutes related to ethnic studies, Indigenous education, and provisions aimed at addressing racial disparities in education. Specifically, the bill eliminates requirements for ethnic studies courses, removes language about antiracist and culturally sustaining educational practices, and repeals sections of law that focused on closing opportunity gaps for students of color and American Indian students. The bill changes several existing education statutes, including modifying requirements for school district planning, academic standards, and teacher mentorship programs. Key changes include making menstrual product provisions optional instead of mandatory, removing references to cultural diversity in curriculum development, and eliminating the Department of Education's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Center. The bill effectively rolls back recent efforts to incorporate more diverse perspectives and address systemic inequities in Minnesota's educational system, returning to a more traditional approach to curriculum and school programming.
