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

This bill prohibits New Jersey public schools from teaching concepts associated with critical race theory, as defined by 14 specific examples (such as claiming inherent racial superiority or assigning guilt based on race), and bans teachers from promoting political, ideological, or religious views in the classroom. It allows exceptions for teaching ethnic group history, impartial historical discussions of oppression, and historical documents. School districts violating the bill risk losing state funding until compliance is confirmed, and the State Board of Education must establish rules requiring balanced presentation of controversial issues. The law applies to all public school courses and instructional materials.
