A4454 requires New Jersey school districts to add radical lesson plans on diversity and equity to K-12 public school curriculums.
The General Assembly passed A4454 on October 29, 2020 by a vote of 52 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this innocent-sounding diversity and inclusion act is designed to indoctrinate students into far-left identity politics starting in kindergarten. It highlights “gender and sexual orientation” and “equity,” while promoting the controversial concept that “unconscious bias” has wide-reaching impact on society. Diversity and inclusion training (sometimes called DEI), shares themes with critical race theory and is an openly politicized discipline.
