Pennsylvania HB246 prohibits certain diversity training and courses at higher education institutions.

HB246 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to prohibit institutions of higher education from requiring students to complete diversity training or courses to graduate, receive a degree, or receive credit hours. The bill defines a diversity course as a program of study based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, or privilege are inherent in U.S. institutions. It also defines diversity training as training based on these theories.
