AN ACT CONCERNING PUBLIC ACCESS TO A SCHOOL DISTRICT'S CURRICULUM AND THE PROHIBITION OF THE TEACHING OF BIASED POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IN SCHOOLS.
SB 585 requires all Connecticut public school districts to post their complete K-12 curriculum - including all course materials - online before each school year begins. It also prohibits any school curriculum (including state-developed materials) from teaching "biased political ideology" to students in grades K-12. The bill allows parents to file lawsuits in Superior Court if they believe a school violates this prohibition. These requirements apply to all public schools, curricula, and teachers, with potential disciplinary action for violations.
