Prohibits teaching of critical race theory in public schools; prohibits public school teachers from engaging in political, ideological, or religious advocacy in classroom.

This New Jersey bill (S 932) prohibits public school districts from teaching concepts defined as "critical race theory" in classroom instruction or allowing teachers to use materials promoting those concepts. It specifically bans teaching ideas like race-based superiority, assigning historical guilt to individuals, or claiming the U.S. government is fundamentally racist. The bill also prohibits teachers from engaging in political, ideological, or religious advocacy in class, such as endorsing candidates or legislation, and requires balanced presentation of controversial issues. It directly affects all public school teachers and districts in New Jersey, with enforcement through potential loss of state funding for violations. Exceptions allow teaching ethnic history, impartial historical discussion, and historical documents.
