The Iowa Department of Education previously said its “Social Justice and Equity in Education Conference” would be postponed until this fall.

The Iowa Department of Education has postponed an equity conference for educators in response to GOP-backed legislation that would ban teaching certain “divisive concepts”
The Iowa Department of Education has postponed its “Social Justice and Equity in Education Conference” in response to GOP-backed legislation that would ban teaching certain “divisive concepts” in government agency diversity training and school curriculum.
Concepts that would be off limits under the bill include teaching “that the U.S. and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systemically racist or sexist.” It also bans “race or sex scapegoating,” teaching that “an individual, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously,” as well as several other concepts.
