A bipartisan state commission Thursday approved a redistricting plan for the New York Assembly that keeps intact the existing five legislative districts in the Syracuse area.
On Monday, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a bill aimed at schooling 5-year-olds in New Jersey.
The subject: diversity and inclusion.
According to the new law, children in every grade along with kindergarteners across the state’s public education system will be given lessons about life.
The instruction opposed by several Republicans will promote “diversity, equity, inclusion, tolerance, and belonging in connection with gender and sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, disabilities, and religious tolerance.”
As reported by NJ.com, it also directs schools to “examine the impact that unconscious bias and economic disparities have at both an individual level and on society as a whole.”
