Michigan SB1147 prohibits certain curriculums in schools, including critical race theory and the 1619 project.

Michigan SB1147 amends the education curriculum to prohibit the inclusion of critical race theory, the 1619 project, and other anti-American and racist theories. Starting from the 2026-2027 school year, school districts and public school academies must ensure their curriculum does not cover these topics. The bill also mandates that schools cannot compel students to affirm certain beliefs about race or other personal attributes. The Department of Education is required to identify noncompliant school districts and public school academies, withholding 5% of their state school aid funds.
