The Alabama legislature has sent a sweeping diversity, equity, and inclusion ban to Gov. Kay Ivey’s (R-AL) desk that would bar the race and gender ideology in universities, public schools, and other state institutions.

Lawmakers in the Yellowhammer State sent Senate Bill 129 to Ivey on Tuesday, and it awaits a signature. The bill would prohibit state promotion of DEI and other “divisive concepts,” dealing a blow to the $16 million bureaucracy built around the ideology at state universities.
