School boards are asking for federal help as they face threats and violence

The ACLU says as a result of the law’s approval, school districts in Oklahoma have told teachers not use terms like «diversity» and «white privilege» in the classroom. Books and other literary works dealing with race, like To Kill a Mockingbird and Raisin in the Sun have been removed from reading lists

Some schools have also limited or all-together eliminated diversity, equity and inclusion training for their educators, according to the group.
