Contributing sentiments towards policy:
59% : Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a sweeping bill that prohibits the use of state funds for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and offices at state agencies, higher education institutions and other public entities.56% : " DEI, as defined by professionals in that field, is aimed at correcting inequities within an organization -- this could include implementing accessibility measures for people with disabilities, correcting discriminatory hiring practices, addressing gender and racial pay inequities, anti-bias training and more.
48% : " The bill also prohibits certain public entities "from promoting, endorsing, or requiring affirmation of or certain divisive concepts relating to race, sex, or religion," "conditioning enrollment or attendance in certain classes or training on the basis of race or color" and will require higher education institutions to ensure that "multiple occupancy restrooms are designated for use based on biological sex.
48% : " The legislation is the most recent effort in an ongoing conservative-backed movement to restrict programs, curriculum and activities that tackle race, gender, sex, and more. Similar bills, including Florida's Stop WOKE Act which restricts race-related teachings and training in schools, have faced legal challenges that have limited the impact of these policies.
