The bill also prohibits teaching that someone is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive because of their race, gender, religion or nationality.

A bill that would require schools to post online all curriculum related to diversity, equity, race, gender and sexuality had its second hearing in the state Senate earlier this week.also prohibits teaching that someone is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive because of their race, gender, religion or nationality.
It’s similar to other bills that have popped up around the country. Last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law the Parental Rights in Education bill, which opponents have called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. It limits discussion of LGBTQ issues in classrooms and requires schools to tell parents when their children receive mental health services.
SB 196’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Lora Reinbold of Eagle River, says it would improve parents’ awareness of what their kids are learning in school and prevent what she called “reverse racism.” It’s co-sponsored by Republican Sen. Mia Costello of Anchorage.“If it were not controversial, or if they weren’t trying to hide something, there’s no reason why all of the curriculum should not be posted online in the digital age,” said Kendall Kruse of Palmer.
