Axios Des Moines: Iowa schools are awaiting guidance over how a new state law targeting lessons on race and sexism will influence classrooms. Gov. Kim Reynolds this week signed into law a bill that bans schools from teaching that the U.S. or people can be systemically racist or sexist. The bill goes into effect July 1. Until the Iowa Department of Education releases more details, schools and their staff have no idea what they can teach or the consequences they might face for violating the law. There may be room in the bill to still teach about these concepts. The key is avoiding certain language, said Margaret Buckton, executive director for the Urban Education Network, which represents Iowa’s largest school districts.
