The legislation limits teaching “divisive concepts” about race and gender at public colleges and universities and requires transgender students to use the bathroom that aligns with their biological sex.

The measure defines “divisive concepts” as casting “fault, blame or bias” to any race, religion, gender or nationality.

Concepts including teachings that a person is “inherently responsible for actions committed in the past” or that a person should “accept, acknowledge, affirm or assent to a sense of guilt, complicity or a need to apologize” based on their race, religion, gender or background are also considered divisive under the legislation.
