Restrict discussions on racism and sexism in classrooms
HB427: This bill ensures that all instructional materials and classroom instruction are consistent with the principles of inalienable rights, equal opportunity, and individual merit.
Opinion by ABC4 in favor:A new bill would change how
teachers discuss racism and sexism in their classrooms. According to HB427, there are things that should be, and should not be addressed by teachers when it comes to racism, sexism, ageism, religious discrimination, and more.
Proposed veto letter
by ACLU of Utah:We firmly believe that young people have the right to an inclusive, accurate, and honest education, free from censorship or discrimination. Unfortunately, we fear H.B.427 may create more problems than it solves, especially when
addressing challenging topics such as race, gender, sexual orientation & systemic injustices.
Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate 18-6-5 on Mar/2/23; passed House 53-18-4 on Mar/3/23; Rep. Lyman voted YES; signed by Gov. Cox on Mar/15/23.
