Repeals law that requires diversity and inclusion instruction for public school students in grades kindergarten through 12.
This bill repeals P.L.2021, c.32, which required New Jersey public school districts to incorporate diversity and inclusion instruction into K-12 curricula as part of the state's learning standards. It removes the mandate for schools to provide this specific type of curriculum content. The repeal takes immediate effect, eliminating the requirement for schools to include such instruction in their teaching. The bill directly affects public school districts and their curriculum planning for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
