SB 227: Eliminating "DEI" in Public Education

This bill seeks to limit the subjects discussed in schools and prevent schools from enacting diversity-focused programs. 

Classroom censorship efforts work to effectively erase the history and lived experiences of women, people of color, and LGBTQ people, and censor discussions around race, gender, and sexuality that impact people’s daily lives. Assaults on academic freedom violate the 1st Amendment.
