SB129 prohibits public entities in Alabama from maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices or sponsoring DEI programs. It also restricts the promotion of divisive concepts, such as ideas that imply racial superiority or collective guilt based on race or gender. Public institutions of higher education are required to designate restrooms based on biological sex.
The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB129 on March 7, 2024 by a vote of 75 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the goal of DEI is to pit Americans against each other. Reverse racism is still racism. Instead of pushing for equality, which is what the Constitution stands for, DEI programs in school push for equity, which is rooted in communism and is part of the Marxist agenda.
