Plain-language change summary

The new version of HB 2112 clarifies that public funds cannot be used for instruction that blames or judges individuals based on race, ethnicity, or sex. Specifically, it removes the term "presents" and replaces it with "promotes or advocates for," which strengthens the language against any teaching that could be seen as assigning blame. This change is important because it aims to provide clearer guidelines for educators on what is acceptable in the classroom, potentially impacting the way history and societal issues are taught.
