Empowering Local Curriculum Act
This bill specifies that nothing in federal education law shall be construed to require the use, teaching, promotion, or recommendation of any academic discipline, program, or activity that holds certain principles related to race or sex.
These prohibited principles include, for example, that
- the United States is a nation founded on White supremacy and oppression;
- one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex;
- the United States is fundamentally racist or sexist;
- any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of the individual's race or sex; or
- meritocracy or traits such as hard work ethic are racist, sexist, or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.
