This week's legislative agenda includes a hearing about education integrity in the Palmetto State, and a hearing about NGO interference in the Pelican State.
On April 30, a conference committee in the South Carolina General Assembly has scheduled a 10:00 a.m. ET hearing for H 3728, the South Carolina Transparency and Integrity in Education Act.
The bill prohibits certain concepts from being promoted or included in curriculum and instruction in classrooms or professional education training and development including racial, ethnic, or sexual identity superiority, inherent racial or ethnic privilege, and contemporary responsibility for historical injustices.
H 3728 also eliminates requirements that students, teachers, staff, and administrators attend or engage in gender or sexual diversity training or counseling.
The bill establishes the right of parents to review all curriculum and a mechanism for filing formal complaints regarding possible violations of the legislation. It would also amend a section of the Parental Involvement in Their Children's Education Act to express that parents in South Carolina are expected to be the primary source of information and education concerning ethics, morality, and civic duty, and that a pledge of such expectations be provided to parents when registering and enrolling their children in schools.
H 3728 has 24 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives.
The Louisiana House Committee on House & Governmental Affairs is scheduled to hold a hearing about SB 133 on April 30.
This legislation, which has passed the Louisiana Senate, bars international organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations from any power or jurisdiction in the state of Louisiana.
SB 133 prevents communications or recommendations that are issued by such organizations as the impetus to action by any governmental entity of the state of Louisiana.
SB 133 was offered by Sen. Thomas Pressly.
