FL S0148

Amends Florida's unlawful employment practices law (s. 760.10) to classify as race, color, sex, or national origin discrimination any required workplace training that compels employees to believe concepts such as one race being morally superior, individuals being inherently racist by virtue of their race or sex, or that meritocracy and colorblindness are racist

Establishes eight specific concepts that cannot be promoted through mandatory employment training, certification, licensing, or credentialing, while permitting objective discussion of these concepts without endorsement

Adds "principles of individual freedom" to K-12 required instruction standards, including that no individual is inherently racist or oppressive by virtue of race or sex, no race is inherently superior, and no student should be made to feel guilt or distress on account of their race

Allows teachers to facilitate age-appropriate discussions on sexism, slavery, racial oppression, segregation, and racial discrimination, but prohibits using classroom instruction or curricula to indoctrinate or persuade students in a manner inconsistent with the enumerated principles

Requires the Department of Education to review school district professional development systems for compliance with the new principles, prohibits instructional materials reviewers from recommending materials that contradict these principles, and replaces the existing "character development program" with "civic and character education" incorporating life skills instruction for grades K-12, effective July 1, 2022
