Utah committee proposes limits on teaching about race

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah education committee has proposed new rules around how race is taught in K-12 schools.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the committee on Thursday proposed rules that would ensure that children in K-12 schools aren’t taught that any race, gender or religion is superior to another.  

They would also prevent teaching that could make someone feel guilty for the past actions of individuals of the same group.

The proposed rules align with a resolution state lawmakers passed last week.

The proposed guidelines will be considered by the full board of education next week.
