Overview
This bill seeks to eliminate a requirement in New Jersey law that mandates diversity and inclusion instruction for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. It specifically removes provisions related to incorporating unconscious bias and examining the impact of economic disparities into this instruction. The law currently requires school districts to include diversity and inclusion topics in their curriculum, but this bill would remove those specific requirements. This change would shift the responsibility for incorporating these concepts to individual school districts.
