Educational Freedom Act.
Wyoming's SF 130, the "Educational Freedom Act," requires public K-12 schools to teach constitutional principles while ensuring all instruction aligns with seven specific "principles of individual freedom." These principles include affirming equality under the law, prohibiting discrimination based on race or gender, stating that merit-based rewards aren't racist, and requiring age-appropriate discussions about racism, slavery, and sexism. The bill directly affects teachers (instructional personnel) and school administrators, who must ensure curricula and policies comply with these principles and avoid content that contradicts them. It also mandates that any classroom material conflicting with Wyoming's constitutional equality provisions must be explicitly identified to students.
