Category 2, Subcategories 2.2–2.2.4

Let’s shift our focus to Subcategories 2.2–2.2.4 within Category 2.

For 2.2 we want to zero in on the guidance language.

Subcategories 2.2–2.2.4

The materials cannot teach, instruct, or train any administrator, teacher, or staff member to learn or use any of the following concepts:

2.2.1: one race or one sex is superior to any other
2.2.2: an individual is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressing anyone simply because of their own race or sex
2.2.3: anyone should be discriminated against or treated unfairly because of, or somehow connected to, their race or their sex
2.2.4: anyone’s moral character, their position or standing in life, or their worth is determined by or attributed to their race or sex

The core message here is that materials should not impose beliefs about oneself or other individuals based on race or sex or what one believes about someone based on their race or sex.

When you review materials, if you see this type of content presented, then you should flag it as a suitability prohibition!
