The bill amends W.S. 21-9-102 to require that instruction in public K-12 schools in Wyoming aligns with specific principles of individual freedom. It mandates that all public schools provide education on the United States Constitution and the Wyoming Constitution, ensuring that students must pass an examination on these principles to graduate. The instruction must occur for at least three years in grades K-8 and for one year each in secondary and college education. Additionally, the bill introduces a set of principles that the instruction must adhere to, including equality among all individuals, political equality without discrimination, and the rejection of inherent superiority among ethnicities.

Furthermore, the bill allows for discussions on sensitive topics such as sexism and racial discrimination, provided that these discussions are age-appropriate and identify any inconsistencies with the principles outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. It prohibits administrative personnel from implementing programs that reflect negatively on individuals based on their ethnicity, gender, or other characteristics. The bill defines "instructional personnel" and "administrative personnel" to clarify who is responsible for delivering this education. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023.
