North Carolina Senate votes to eliminate DEI initiatives in public schools

The North Carolina Senate voted to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in public schools, passing the bill along party lines with Republican support and Democratic opposition.
Senate Bill 227 aims to prohibit teaching 'divisive concepts' about race and gender and bans diversity training for school employees.
Democratic Senators criticized the measures, arguing they will hinder education on important historical topics and questioning the motivation behind the bills.
The proposed laws now move to the GOP-controlled House, but Democratic Governor Josh Stein hopes to leverage his veto power against these controversial bills.
