One Indiana college student started a petition to fight back against anti-DEI legislation that’s making its way through the statehouse.

More than 30 education-related bills that could reshape the state’s K-12 education system remain under consideration.

The Indiana Senate approved a bill Thursday to ban diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in state government and public schools.

The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus gathered a crowd just down the hall from where Gov. Mike Braun delivered his first State of the State address.

A Senate committee advances a bill banning diversity, equity and inclusion. Legislation heads to the Senate floor to continue cutting the state individual income tax rate. And a measure banning non-compete clauses for physicians clears a committee.

Two Republican-sponsored bills would restrict how schools teach about and discuss issues like race, sexual orientation and gender in Indiana classrooms.

The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus said Gov. Mike Braun’s executive order ending diversity, equity and inclusion in state government sends a message that Indiana doesn’t care about fairness.

The Carmel Clay School Board candidates who win this November will determine the political makeup of the five-member board and could greatly influence the future of the district.

A new Office of Equity, Belonging and Inclusion is part of the 2024 budget proposal in Indianapolis.
