HB 50 (2025)

Add detail to law aimed at banning critical race theory in schools, workplaces

Summary:

Repeals the state law aimed at banning critical race theory in schools and state trainings. The bill also states that nothing in state law bars teachers and other public employees from "engaging in any form of instruction concerning the historical or current experiences of any group that is protected from discrimination."

The House rewrote the bill. The new bill adds more detail to the state law aimed at banning critical race theory in schools and state trainings. For example, the amended bill allows discussion of "scientifically supported information and concepts" around the difference between sexes.
