Lebanon plans to create diversity commission
Modified: 7/8/2021 9:29:50 PM
LEBANON City officials say they intend to create a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission to advise Lebanon on matters regarding race and sex regardless of warnings that the group’s efforts could conflict with a state law that opponents worry will limit discussions about systemic racism.
The Lebanon City Council voted Wednesday night to schedule a Wednesday, July 21 public hearing on the proposed commission, a step that’s required for changes to the city code.
If passed, the nine-member group could start work promoting training and educational programs, and offering guidance on ways the city can create a “safe, welcoming and inclusive” community this fall.
