WV Metro News | Thursday, March 6, 2025
The WV Metro News reports that the Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced a bill that seeks to end diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in state government, which may impact local institutions like Jefferson High School and organizations aiming to support minority communities. The bill's implications on the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs and the debate over including 'antiracism' in the legislation are central to the discussions, reflecting a broader conflict over race-related policies as state leaders argue for neutrality in addressing these issues.
