Texas HB4040 prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in school districts and charter schools.

HB4040 amends the Texas Education Code to prohibit school districts and charter schools from using state or local funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. These practices include promoting racial exclusivity, providing financial support to racially exclusive student groups, and creating or using racially based curricula. The bill also prohibits preferential treatment in disciplinary practices based on race. School districts must promote a "colorblind meritocracy" and may not employ personnel who attend conferences promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
