Digest
HB 659 incorporates cultural inclusion into the public school social studies curriculum for grades K–12. The State Board of Education must develop a curriculum promoting diversity, critical thinking about bias, empathy, and self-advocacy. School districts and charter schools are required to implement this curriculum, though they may tailor it to reflect the needs of their local communities. This bill seeks to foster greater understanding and acceptance among students from diverse backgrounds.
