S 193 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Protecting Students From Racial Hostility Act

This bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to define specific educational practices as discrimination. It prohibits curricula or teaching that promotes "divisive concepts" (like claiming one race is inherently superior or that the U.S. is fundamentally racist) and results in a "racially hostile environment" in schools. The bill requires schools to report such complaints to state attorneys general and mandates annual reports to Congress on these complaints. It directly affects elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education programs receiving federal funding.
