Sec. 28.0025. CERTAIN INSTRUCTION PROHIBITED. A school

component of a course, unit of study, or other instruction that
directs or otherwise compels a student to personally affirm, adopt,
or adhere to the idea that:
(1) any race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or
national origin is inherently superior or inferior to another race,
sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin;
(2) an individual should be discriminated against or
receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the
individual's race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national
origin; or
(3) an individual, by virtue of the individual's race,
sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, is inherently
responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of
the same race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin.
SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2021-2022

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the
legislative session.
