Protecting Students: New Rules on Race Education and Hostile Environments.
This law expands the definition of racial discrimination in schools and universities to include curricula or teaching that promotes "divisive concepts" leading to a racially hostile environment. This gives students and parents a new avenue to file complaints if they feel teaching about race, history, or meritocracy is harmful or assigns blame based on their race. It also mandates that educational institutions report these specific complaints to state attorneys general.
