US EditionNew Indiana State Law Cracking Down on DEI to Take Effect This Week
- Mississippi passed House Bill 1193, which prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives as well as the instruction of controversial topics in public K-12 schools and universities, and allows for legal action in cases of noncompliance.
- This legislation follows similar laws in Texas and West Virginia amid a broader ideological campaign to dismantle commitments to equality and inclusion nationwide.
- The ACLU filed a lawsuit and requested a temporary restraining order from Federal Judge Henry Wingate to halt enforcement, citing vague language and constitutional rights infringements.
- Republican Sen. Nicole Boyd emphasized the bill requires schools to cure violations through an administrative process before litigation, while Assistant Attorney General Rex Shannon opposed the restraining order citing state sovereignty but gave no specific harms.
- The ongoing legal and political dispute highlights national tensions over DEI policies, with supporters defending equity efforts and opponents portraying the bans as procedural victories over ideological overreach.
