in March. The bill also targets what it calls"divisive" education about race, banning lessons about topics like critical race theory and the New York Times'"1619 Project." , sponsored by Representatives Mike Loychik and Jean Schmidt, would prohibit schools from teaching, using or providing"any curriculum or instructional materials on sexual orientation or gender identity" for students in kindergarten through third grade.
