Maryland school districts not immune to clashes over curriculums, DEI outlined in new report

As Maryland grapples with school curriculum pushback and book banning related to race and LGBTQ issues, a national analysis found that these subjects are not often discussed in K-12 schools, despite the heated debates. The Pew Research Center analysis published Thursday surveyed thousands of teachers, parents and teen students. While 68% of teachers say topics about sex and gender are rarely talked about, more than 40% of U.S. teachers say school curriculum debates about race, gender and sexuality have negatively impacted their abilities to do their job.
