OKLAHOMA CITY -
Colleges are speaking out about a bill that bans them from requiring their students to have diversity training. Gov. Kevin Stitt signed the bill Friday.
According to House Bill 1775, K-12 schools are prohibited from providing courses that teach a student their race or sex makes them more superior to another person s race or sex.
The bill also says students enrolled in higher education institutions should not be required to attend training that presents any form of race or sex stereotyping or a bias on the basis of race or sex.
“This bill says that we re not going to teach people that because of their race or their sex they are inherently evil for something they had nothing to do with,” Rep. Kevin West, R-Moore said.
