Repeals law that requires diversity and inclusion instruction for public school students in grades kindergarten through 12.
This bill (S 4409) repeals New Jersey's existing law (P.L.2021, c.32) that required public school districts to incorporate diversity and inclusion instruction into the curriculum for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It removes the mandate that school districts must include such instruction as part of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The repeal takes immediate effect, meaning schools are no longer required to provide this specific instruction. The change directly affects public school students and districts across New Jersey.
