Background (MADVoters) Prior to being amended, SB 88 mandated that public school curriculum include instruction on the 10 Commandments, and restrictions on discussions about racism, sexism, and classism. This section has since been removed, but concerns remain: 1) the bill mandates that schools include instruction on the importance of waiting until marriage to have children as part of being a "good citizen." This is out of scope for a public school, and risks shaming students for their personal circumstances. 2) The bills also mandates that colleges accept the Classic Learning Test (which emphasizes conservative content and Christian texts), in addition to the SAT and ACT. The CLT is used mostly by religious-affiliated private schools. It's clear this bill is intended to elevate conservative, Christian perspectives within the public education sphere.  3) the bill mandates that schools include instruction on the importance of waiting until marriage to have children as part of being a "good citizen."
