In a series of educational policy decisions, the Pembroke School Committee recently considered a policy that would prohibit teachers and administrators from displaying or discussing their political and social views on school campuses. However, this policy was ultimately voted down. Meanwhile, in Florida, a House Committee approved a bill that would ban teachers from displaying Pride or Black Lives Matter flags in classrooms. Additionally, the Florida State Board of Education has passed a rule to permanently prohibit Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives on the 28 state college campuses. This rule also includes the replacement of the 'Principles of Sociology' course with one in American History. Forbes reported on the growing outrage against these DEI programs and the ban on using public funds for them in Florida State Colleges.
